I didn't intend to
specialize in PCOS, but it seemed wherever I looked, and whatever specialty
I worked in...PCOS was there. I finally decided to accept that this
might be my calling. The more I learned, the more I realized that
women were not getting the right kind of information. And they were
spending lots of money on lots of wrong information.
This network is my
mission--and in learning and training other colleagues, I've learned how
much support and power there is when people come together to solve problems.
I especially love the fact that we are a combination of people with training
as well as life experience, not just one or the other. I hope you find
someone on this page who you can reach out to and begin your journey of
health, understanding...and peace of mind.
Ironically, I have
no children myself. I was fortunate, however, to come from a wonderful
family that has given me unconditional love and support for my entire life.
I love knowing that the children our program helps to create are coming into
families who also love them very much, and who have such potential to build
great futures for themselves based on that love. |

I
received a degree in food and nutrition from California State
University, Long Beach. I have been practicing in Orange County in many
fields of dietetics including eating disorders, chemical dependency, elderly
nutrition, and disease prevention.
I
have extensive experience working with people with disordered eating,
insulin resistance, diabetes prevention and weight management. Through
individualized counseling and group education, I utilize up-to-date research
in the field of nutrition to promote health and prevent disease.
I have a passion for helping others to achieve body satisfaction, weight
management, and simply enhanced health. It is important to reconnect the
mind to the body by paying attention to biological hunger versus emotional
hunger. I believe that a healthy relationship with food is necessary for
success. There is no diet or exercise plan that will fit the lives of every
individual. The best way to achieve your goals is through individual
analysis. Your nutritional plan will be based on your goals, your needs, and
your body. |

Esthetician |
It is my passion to work with women in creating excellent health and
well-being. It is a passion born from having experienced the frustration of
not being listened to or compassionately cared for in the traditional
medical establishment, after experiencing a life-threatening viral
infection. I had one specialist tell me that my staggering fatigue, brain
fog, thinning hair etc were all an attempt to “get attention”!
Fortunately my solid science and medical experience as a dietitian is what
helped me figure out the problem(s) and to take charge of my healing and
recovery. This experience has shaped the way in which I work with my
clients and continues to inspire me to help other women.
I
am a Nutritionist / Registered Dietitian and a Licensed Esthetician who
works from an integrative mind/body approach. My practice is dedicated to
helping my clients create the healthiest body, the best self-care and the
richest sense of well-being possible. I bring a soul-centered, medically
sound approach to my work. I work in partnership always respecting that you
know your body better than anybody and my role is to guide you to your best
options and solutions.
I
offer tele-consultations which allow me to work with women across the
country and also by appointment at my office in Ventura, California.

I work in a
substance abuse facility part-time and work with young adults who have
substance abuse/eating disorders. I also teach at Bowling Green State
University.
I
am a 32 year old dietitian with PCOS. I was diagnosed after having
difficulty getting pregnant. Once I received the diagnosis, so
many of my symptoms made sense: hypoglycemia,
fatigue, mood swings, difficulty sleeping, adult acne..... But I
didn't fit the typical profile for a woman with PCOS. I was athletic
and muscular, not overweight. This made it even more difficult to
believe that I had this disorder. And I was a dietitian with this
disorder. All of a sudden I was seeing myself as the overweight
dietitian that no one respected or trusted. I was also afraid of never
having the family I had always wished for. Luckily I was able to
conceive and after a turbulent pregnancy, I delivered boy/girl twins!
I have returned to a healthy weight, but still struggle with mood
swings, depression and insomnia. Now that I have come to understand PCOS
and its intricacies, I would love to help other women who are
struggling with PCOS and its many negative symptoms with nutrition
interventions.

Nutrition Manager |
I feel very
passionate about womens' health issues - too many of my clients have
struggled with various symptoms related to PCOS and/or body weight/body
image without any intervention or referrals by their primary MD. I feel
women are amazing given the depth of responsibility in their lives and
many challenges they face with the incredible hormonal changes that take
place throughout their lifespan.
I feel it is
very powerful when a woman is in my office and I give her a chance to
explore her weight history/symptoms in a very thoughtful and mindful way -
truly listening to the story and providing a chance to find powerful
solutions. My goal is for women to leave my office feeling good about
themselves and their plan for stabilizing or decreasing their body weight,
improving body image or PCOS symptoms.
My background includes a 19 year military career (last 12 as a reservist).
I currently hold a civilian position as clinical nutrition manager in
Dayton, OH at the Wright Patterson Medical Center.
(SPECIAL
NOTE: I currently only consult with military-related individuals
with access to my medical center.)
