Food and nutrition can feel overwhelming during pregnancy, postpartum, and those early years of feeding a family
With so much conflicting advice out there, it’s easy to second-guess every decision, tapping into the deepest vulnerability of am I doing this right?
As a registered dietitian and mom, I combine evidence-based nutrition with real-life strategies to help you stress less and enjoy eating and feeding.
Whether you’re navigating pregnancy cravings, postpartum recovery, picky eating, or simply trying to make mealtimes more peaceful, my approach is all about practical, guilt-free guidance that fits your life.
A bit more about me
I’ve been pregnant six times (that’s six first trimesters!), and get what it feels like to know what to eat but physically not be able to.
My youngest was born in March 2020, so when we talk about postpartum with little-to-no support, I see you.
I’m a mom of two sometimes picky eaters - the feeding guidance I share is the same ones I practice in my own kitchen.
My passion: holding space for all the feels during this transitional time.
My professional training
I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Go Badgers!) and a Master’s degree in Nutrition & Dietetics from New York University.
Before starting my own practice, I spent nine years as a clinical dietitian at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital counseling adult, perinatal and pediatric populations.
That work carries into my practice here, where I blend professional excellence with deep empathy to best nourish your transition into parenthood.
