Nature Nutrition

Food is complicated. Your body is unique. Dr. Google and books have helped, but you’re still not quite where you want to be with food and your physical, mental, emotional health.

I help clients regain their connection to food from the earth, the way nature intended us to eat. Real, whole, unadulterated foods (whenever possible). I know life is busy and we cannot source every item or create all meals from scratch. That’s where I come in!

Both INDIVIDUAL and FAMILY MEAL PLANNING SESSION sessions help keep meals simple, nutrient-dense, and tailored to your own - and your family’s - current dietary needs.

Plant Therapy

When everything feels slightly “off” kilter - energy, mood, wellbeing, connections, drive, sleep - sometimes going back to the basics can be a powerful tool on your healing journey. One big gap with most clients is a low intake of plant foods. Though food therapy and plant nutrients, true nourishment ensues.

Because you are unique, there are many paths toward healing. Sessions and programs range from 5-week LIVER DETOX & ENERGY REBOOT to a 21-DAY PLANT THERAPY RESET to addressing 1-2 prevalent symptoms via a SUPPLEMENT MAKEOVER. Generally, we optimize meals and habits so your body has the nourishment to heal itself.

When your health concerns take over: impossible-to-function-like-yourself-fatigue; brain fog; utter depletion; irritability with your loved ones; constant colds or sickness; dysfunctional sleep; lack of motivation; loneliness; gut issues (oh! so many!); wondering why your labs look normal but you feel like doggy-doo; riding the anxiety-depression see-saw; frustration with not knowing what to do next; and total disconnect from who you once were…

Time for a DEEP DIVE assessment to unearth key factors affecting your total wellbeing, like food + beverages; supplements + meds; lifestyle + support; emotions + stressors; and environment + personal care.

About me.

My childhood & food.

I grew up part-time on a guest ranch in the Frank Church Wilderness in Idaho. We foraged for berries and mushrooms, fished in the creek and ponds, and made meals from scratch. Back in the city, we ate our fair share of convenience food, but homemade Italian food and baked goods always tasted better. On my family’s mini-farm outside Seattle, my sisters and I helped our dad cultivate an organic garden and orchards, while mom helped us juice and preserve. 

Environmental nutrition.

After wreaking havoc on my body during my twenties, I turned my attention both outward and inward, considering the effects of modern agriculture on my body and the environment, and the effects of my habits & mindset on my life & wellness. I became certified in Permaculture & Design in Thailand, completed two yoga teacher trainings in Portland, OR, became a freelance food writer.

The tipping point.

When visiting my sister in the hospital as she battled a rare and aggressive ovarian cancer, I witnessed her team of Western health experts informing her that food would have no beneficial effect on her body or healing process. In that moment, I was called to the field of integrative nutrition to focus on healing with the gifts of Mother Earth. After almost a decade directing galleries in the fine art world, I began studying science and nutrition.
