Hi, I’m Jamie.
I LOVE food - cooking, growing, and eating it - but in my work as a Dietitian I see how easily food becomes a source of confusion, shame and frustration. Whether this stems from internal or external pressures to make dietary changes for weight loss or to improve health, a lack of time or energy due to the demands of modern life, or any of the myriad legitimate reasons, I am here to help you sort through the noise. With your health goals and individual needs guiding us, we will build incremental habits that prioritize, balance, enjoyment, and kindness to yourself.
I embrace body diversity and practice within a Health at Every Size framework. This means I believe you can be healthy at any size without restrictive, fad dieting. I believe there are other approaches to eating that are kinder, gentler and don’t come at the expense of health or your relationship with food and body.
For the past decade I have worked as a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES), supporting both pediatric and adult clients. My specialization as a CDCES, allows me to use food, technology and medication to help clients self-manage their Diabetes, while building tools to navigate the challenges and stigma that accompany living with Diabetes. Beyond Diabetes, I am passionate about GI health, intuitive eating and making peace with food, and helping clients better understand the role of food sensitivities and intolerances in symptoms.
Whether you are seeking an alternative path towards Diabetes self-management, are hoping to improve your quality of life through symptom reduction, or just know you want a change but don’t know where to start, I am here to support you!
