You Don't Need Another Diet. You Need Support That Gets It.
For adults living with chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and physical or neurological disabilities, the world of nutrition often feels like one more overwhelming demand. You know you need nourishing food for energy stability, but complex meal prep and rigid rules are simply not possible when you’re dealing with low energy or chronic pain.
You don't need another plan designed for someone with unlimited time and spoons. You need a dietitian who recognizes that the barrier isn't willpower—it's accessibility and executive function. My work is rooted in the deep understanding that Body Respect is foundational for healing. We start by acknowledging that:
The Spoon Theory is Real: We operate entirely within your daily capacity. Nutrition strategy must conserve energy, not drain it.
Systemic Barriers Cause Harm: I understand the trauma and delayed care caused by weight stigma and medical bias. Our space is non-judgmental and affirms your identity and lived experience, allowing you to finally focus on nutrition and health versus safety.
Shame Stops Progress: We leave behind the "good vs. bad" labels. My goal is to help you find peace, satisfaction, and reliable energy through food, not fear.
Your Unique Solution: My Compassion-First Strategy
My approach is built to overcome the unique challenges you face, such as executive dysfunction, sensory fatigue, and the cognitive load of managing symptoms. We partner together to find strategies that actually fit your real life.
Low-Spoon & Accessible Meals: We combat decision fatigue by focusing on simplicity. We utilize convenience foods unapologetically—like pre-cut produce, frozen staples, and low-prep proteins—because they are tools for self-care, not failures. My commitment is to help you nourish yourself, regardless of energy levels.
Sensory-Honoring Solutions: We address sensory challenges directly, whether it's managing the overwhelming smell of cooking meat or navigating textures. If only smooth, cold textures work on a high-pain day, we honor that choice and ensure it's balanced for sustained energy.
Gentle Symptom Management: We focus on adding supportive nourishment to your diet to assist with chronic pain and digestive issues, rather than relying on overwhelming elimination plans.
Anti-Inflammatory Additions: We work on an anti-inflammatory eating pattern by focusing on food diversity—aiming for more vibrant plant foods and colors—not eliminating entire food groups. This gentle strategy supports the body without creating stress.
Targeted Digestive Ease: For sensitive guts, we focus on thorough chewing, slowing the pace of eating, and incorporating gentle fiber sources (like Citrucel or soft, cooked vegetables) that aid digestion without causing discomfort.
Energy Stability: We utilize the power of Carb + Protein + Fat combinations to prevent blood sugar instability, reducing the severity of fatigue and supporting focus.
Virtual Care: All sessions are conducted virtually to maximize accessibility and conserve your energy. You receive compassionate, affirming care from the comfort of your home, eliminating the physical and cognitive drain of travel.
Real-Life Integration: Being in your own kitchen allows us to create practical, actionable plans that work with your actual environment and available resources.
