Food as Connection.  Nutrition as Knowing.  Nourishment as Choice.

True nourishment is more than what’s on your plate —

​

It’s how you tend to your rhythms, your rituals, your resilience.
It’s how you listen inward, honor cravings and sensitivities, and build a relationship with food that’s rooted in respect — not restriction.

​

There is no universal formula.

​

Nutrition offers the knowing — the structure, the science, the data.

The macronutrients, the micronutrients, the research behind how our bodies work.

​

But nourishment is the part that’s personal.  

It’s alive. Shifting. Rooted in story, sensitivity, soul.

 

What nourishes you may change across seasons, life stages, even moods.

​

And that’s not a flaw — it’s wisdom.

​

We each carry different bodies and blueprints —
shaped by genetics, gut health, memory, mood, stress, ancestry, and story.

 

For some, food has felt like a battleground.
For others, a place of comfort, creativity, or control.
Often, it’s all of those — at once.

​

My Approach

 

I became a certified nutrition consultant in 2013 — not to hand out rules, but to offer both knowledge and guidance, rooted in compassion and lived experience.

​

Like so many, I’ve spent years navigating the noise of diet culture —
the pressure, the promises, the confusion.

​

The shame. The slow erosion of confidence and self-worth in a culture that tells you your value lives on the scale.

That the exact number somehow reflects your discipline, your health, your beauty — even your worthiness to be loved, or to love yourself.

​

But it doesn’t.
It never has.

​

I’ve known both the frustration of restriction and the quiet joy of rediscovering food as a friend — not a foe.​  Over time, my work has shifted toward something gentler, deeper, and more integrative.  I’ve guided clients through:

​

• Gentle detox and liver support

• Nutrition journeys that nourish instead of deplete

• Keto and low-carb protocols for metabolic clarity

• Blueprinting tools to uncover what actually works for you

​

And through it all, I hold this truth:

​

Nourishment should be aligned, not imposed.
It should honor your hunger and your history, your body and your intuition.

 

This isn’t just about food plans or protocols.
It’s about: Choice. Integration. Healing. Ease.

​

Much like astrology and grieving work, it’s not just about the details of the natal chart or the loss —
it’s about how it lives within you, and the choices you still get to make.

A Personal Note

​

I love food — but like many — I’ve also struggled in relationship with it.

 

The textures, the colors, the stories they carry — from my grandmother’s lemon-and-salt ritual to my own roasted tomato salsa.  I’ve grown herbs, managed food sensitivities (I'm looking at you, nuts!), discovered making many things from scratch — and eaten chips and salsa for dinner when that was enough.

 

I believe in bioindividuality.

I believe in joy.

 

And I believe that how we feed ourselves — especially during grief, change, or healing — matters deeply.
