Personalized Nutrition Care Designed Around You
Your health is unique—and your nutrition care should be, too.
I provide personalized, evidence-based medical nutrition therapy and health coaching designed to help you understand what may be contributing to your health concerns and create meaningful, sustainable change.
Whether you are navigating perimenopause or menopause, metabolic health concerns, elevated cholesterol or blood sugar, digestive issues, autoimmune or inflammatory conditions, or weight management, we will develop a strategy based on your health history, goals, lifestyle, and individual needs.
My approach may include comprehensive nutrition assessment, individualized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations, laboratory and functional nutrition testing when appropriate, targeted nutrition and supplement recommendations, education, coaching, and ongoing support.
Insurance is accepted for eligible medical nutrition therapy services, and private-pay options are available for individuals seeking a more comprehensive level of individualized care.
Medical Nutrition Therapy
Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) provides individualized nutrition care to help address specific health conditions and improve overall health.
I work with clients experiencing:
Metabolic & Hormonal Health
- Perimenopause and menopause
- Metabolic syndrome
- Prediabetes and diabetes
- Elevated blood sugar
- High cholesterol
- Weight management
- Fatty liver disease
- Hypertension
Digestive Health
- IBS
- SIBO (bloating, gas, pains, constipation and/or diarrhea)
- GERD / reflux
- Food sensitivities
- Gut health and microbiome optimization
Autoimmune & Inflammatory Conditions
Nutrition strategies may be used to support individuals with chronic inflammation and autoimmune conditions, including:
- Hashimoto’s autoimmune thyroiditis
- Multiple sclerosis
- Celiac disease
- Other autoimmune and inflammatory conditions
Your nutrition plan is individualized based on your diagnosis, symptoms, health history, laboratory findings, goals, and nutritional needs.
A Comprehensive Approach to Your Care
Nutrition counseling should be more than being handed a meal plan.
My goal is to understand the whole picture—your health history, symptoms, laboratory findings, nutrition, lifestyle, stress, sleep, activity, and the challenges that may be making it difficult to feel your best.
Depending on your individual needs, your care may include:
- Comprehensive nutrition and health assessment
- Review of relevant laboratory results
- Individualized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations
- Personalized action plans and resources
- Nutrition and supplement recommendations
- Functional nutrition testing when appropriate
- Education and health coaching
- Progress monitoring and adjustments to your plan
- Ongoing communication and support between sessions
This allows us to create a nutrition strategy that is specific to you—not a generic plan that could be given to anyone.
Insurance & Expanded Private-Pay Options
I accept the following insurances for eligible nutrition services:
- Aetna
- Virginia Medicaid
- Sentara
- United Healthcare
- Humana Healthy Horizons VA
- Cigna VA
- Aetna Better Health of VA
- BCBS (participation in progress)
Coverage varies by insurance plan and may not include every service or level of individualized support you may need. Nutrition benefits, visit limits, deductibles, copays, and covered services vary, so I recommend verifying your specific benefits before your first appointment.
Your benefits may also vary based on your specific plan, diagnosis, deductible, copay, visit limitations, and covered services. I encourage you to verify your nutrition benefits directly with your insurance provider before beginning care.
Insurance-covered care provides access to Medical Nutrition Therapy when eligible. However, insurance coverage does not necessarily include every component of a comprehensive, individualized nutrition program.

- DUTCH
- Metabolomix+ / NutrEval

Testing is not appropriate or necessary for every client. If testing is recommended, we will discuss the purpose of the test, what information it may provide, and how the results may be used to guide your nutrition care.
Testing is an additional out-of-pocket expense unless your specific insurance plan provides coverage. Insurance coverage for testing varies, so patients are responsible for verifying benefits with their insurance provider.

How Coaching Is Different From Medical Nutrition Therapy
Health & Wellness Coaching and Medical Nutrition Therapy serve different purposes.
Medical Nutrition Therapy is appropriate when you have a medical condition or nutrition-related health concern requiring individualized nutrition assessment and therapeutic nutrition intervention.
Health & Wellness Coaching focuses on the process of behavior change—helping you identify goals, overcome barriers, build healthy habits, increase accountability, and create sustainable lifestyle changes.
Health coaching does not involve diagnosing medical conditions, prescribing therapeutic diets, or providing medical nutrition therapy.
For some individuals, coaching may complement Medical Nutrition Therapy. For others, coaching may be the right starting point when their primary goal is developing healthier behaviors and creating sustainable lifestyle change.
Your Health. Your Goals. Your Pace.
You don’t have to completely overhaul your life to improve your health.
Together, we will focus on the changes that matter most to you, break them into realistic steps, and build the confidence and skills needed to make those changes last.
