All foods can fit
There are no good or bad foods here — just context, balance, and the foods that bring you joy.
My story
From the hospital ward to your kitchen table
I started my career in a busy hospital, counseling patients managing diabetes, heart disease, and digestive disorders. I loved the science — but I kept noticing the same thing: people left with a printout and no real sense of how to make it work on a Tuesday night with kids, deadlines, and a tired body.
So I moved into community and private practice, and eventually founded Nourish. My mission is simple: take the best of clinical nutrition and translate it into something warm, doable, and shame-free. No fad diets, no food rules you'll quietly break by the weekend — just a plan that fits the life you actually live.
When I'm not with clients, you'll find me testing one-pot recipes, training for half marathons (slowly), and proving that yes, a dietitian can absolutely have dessert.
