I'm your Nutrition Expert... a Registered Dietitian

NICE TO MEET YOU!

Having navigated the maze of nutrition information online myself, I get the confusion. I transitioned to a vegan lifestyle in 2015 and made a career shift in 2018 before becoming a Registered Dietitian (RD), which highlighted the need for a fresh perspective. I grew up as an athlete, eating a pretty standard diet, so learning how to eat to thrive after stepping back from sports while also learning how to meet my needs on a vegan diet was more difficult to figure out on my own then expected. At Keen on Nutrition, expect straightforward plant-based tips and the best advice for navigating troubling digestive symptoms or performance goals, all backed by science. My mission is clear: to simplify wellness and make healthier habits the easy choice. Let's embark on this journey to simplified wellness together!

Qualifications & Experience

and personally...

  • I grew up playing soccer and dancing competitively so I understand the pressures of performance and how challenging it can be to figure out how to fuel yourself the right way.
  • I have a family history of inflammatory bowel disease and have seen how challenging it can be to make nutrition choices and learn who to trust... plus,
  • I've been vegetarian and vegan since 2015 so I've learned how to make the transition a little easier, how to balance healthy eating with fun choices and know exactly what supplements and foods to focus on for a balanced lifestyle!

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

Imagine being able to make meal and snacks choices that felt nutritious, without restricting or feeling deprived

I want to help you thrive

Embracing a plant-based lifestyle not only increased my energy levels but also left me feeling lighter and more vibrant. What's remarkable is how seamlessly it integrated into my active lifestyle. I've been able to debunk myths that a plant-based diet is hard, missing nutrients, or isn't ideal for digestive disorders. But I also did not do it overnight...

As a professional I've seen the evidence that a plant-based diet is the healthiest choice for almost everyone - however, figuring it out on your own is not always easy, so let me help you learn how to eat more plants and thrive!
