Licensed Psychologist | Certified Health Coach | Culinary Nutritionist
After receiving a Ph.D. in developmental psychology and dedicating more than 20 years to scientific research and academic teaching, I decided to marry my deep understanding of human development with my passion for nutrition, health and wellness. I enrolled in certification programs at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, E-Cornell and Natural Gourmet Institute and paired this in-depth understanding of major dietary theories, healthy food preparation and the science of psychology to create smart and practical lifestyle coaching methods that will guide you to discovering the healthiest you.
If you know what your ideal self looks like, but are having a hard time making it happen while continuing to enjoy food and life, my programs are for you.
