I believe recovery begins long before the day of surgery.

As a Clinical Nutritionist, I specialize in pre- and post-operative nutrition, helping patients prepare their bodies for surgery, support healing, preserve muscle, and recover with confidence through personalized, evidence-based nutrition.

My passion for orthopedic nutrition is rooted in both science and personal experience. As a lifelong athlete, I've experienced injuries, rehabilitation, and the physical and emotional challenges that come with recovery. Those experiences sparked my curiosity about how nutrition can influence healing and ultimately inspired me to pursue advanced training in clinical nutrition.

Today, I'm continuing that work through my Doctor of Clinical Nutrition (DCN), where my focus is advancing the role of nutrition in orthopedic care and helping bridge the gap between surgery and recovery.

Whether you're preparing for a joint replacement, repairing a torn ligament, recovering from a fracture, or simply looking to optimize healing, my goal is to provide practical, individualized nutrition strategies that fit your life and support your recovery.

Based in Hood River and Portland, Oregon, I work with patients both in person and through Telehealth.
