I am a registered dietitian nutritionist in Eugene, Oregon and have been providing nutrition education for over 20 years.

I received my bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Movement Science from the University of Oregon, and my master’s degree in Nutrition and Foodservice Management from Oregon State University.

I was fortunate to teach my first class on feeding dynamics when my first-born-daughter was just 3 months old, and was introduced to Ellyn Satter — a dietitian, family therapist, and internationally recognized authority on eating and feeding. As I navigated teaching families how to raise healthy eaters and feeding my own family, I used Satter’s approach, which relies on the structure of family meals and the autonomy to let children decide what and how much to eat from what is offered. This approach eliminates food battles and creates an environment for children to learn to like a variety of foods.

I am so excited you are here so I can give you the knowledge and skills you need to raise a healthy family!
