I’m a registered dietitian who loves food, the forest, humans and animals (not necessarily in that order!)
I founded Fed & Flourish to change how we approach nutrition and health because I know this to be so true: our relationship with food/body/health is complicated. When you have a safe place to talk, learn, and reflect, you can move mountains.

my approach to nutrition
At it's most basic level, nutrition is about getting enough to eat. Being nourished is much more - it's the physical and the emotional parts. Food is about tradition, memories, adventure, culture, family and everything in between.
When we work together, I help you learn to apply nutrition information in a way that is self-caring. It's about how different foods help you feel and help you function. This means, we might be noticing how your digestive system is feeling and functioning or how your energy is ebbing and flowing throughout the day, or how fasting in your day is leading to binging.
Nutrition does not need to be perfect - it can be fun, flexible and self care.
While I wasn't born in Chicago, I've lived here almost my whole life sans a few years. And if you didn't know, if you've ever lived anywhere near Chicago, even the suburbanites say they're from Chicago ;)
If you venture to Chicago, Pequod's Pizza is the BEST Chicago pizza you can find.

a little about me...
Enneagram 9's, also known as the peacemaker, is characterized by a desire for harmony and peace. Often described as: accepting, supportive, easy going, creative, and stable.
Yep, that's me. Minus the creative. That trait skipped me ;)

I love taking on new physical challenges - bonus points if they're outside and somehow the forest is involved.
Want to rock climb? Absolutely.
Need a partner to train for a race or run it with you? 100%
Planning a camping trip? Count me in.
Want to try paddleboard yoga? Yes Yes Yes!
You get the idea...

If we had the room, I'd easily have 4 to 5 BIG dogs. Instead, we have 2 - Max (Great Pyr / Lab) and Lola (yellow lab). You'll for sure meet them in our sessions - usually sleeping & snoring behind me on their bed.
