About Me
I am a bilingual (German and English) registered dietitian. My passion for nutrition began in 2015 after I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, which inspired me to learn how nutrition can support chronic illness. In 2023, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nutrition. I am also a certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor, with over 15 years of experience at the local YMCA.
I am often involved in volunteer work with multiple military-affiliated organizations, and I bring a balanced perspective to health and wellness. I specialize in weight management, hormonal imbalances, pre-diabetic education, heart health, and sports nutrition. My approach is evidence-based and client-centered because I believe that diet and fitness are not one-size-fits-all. I focus on meeting you where you are and helping you create sustainable lifestyle changes that you love while supporting your long-term health. Compassion and empathy are at the heart of my practice, and I am dedicated to helping you thrive in both your everyday life and your health journey.
