How I Work

I’m a Master Nutrition Therapist and Certified Gluten Practitioner based in Denver, Colorado.

I specialize in healing children and young adults with depression, anxiety and behavior issues through a multifaceted whole body and whole life nutritional approach.

I work in collaboration with Dr. Mary Braud, a board-certified psychiatrist, certified functional practitioner, and trainee of Dr. Walsh. Our unique partnership provides our clients and their caregivers with holistic solutions that target root causes of illness alongside follow-through support to implement those solutions. We know how hard diet and lifestyle changes are – we’ve made them ourselves and supported family members through them – so we’ve come together to be able to provide our clients with the information, guidance, and availability we know is crucial to achieving results.

 Our focus is on Functional Nutrition – the way that the millions of molecules in every bite of food you eat come into your body and affect how your cells behave, which translates into how you think, feel and behave.

Take caffeine, for example, which has an obvious and immediate impact on your mind and body – for some, it has positive effects of alertness, or relieving a headache, while for others it causes negative reactions like jitters, stomach ache, or irritability. In that same way, every nutrient you ingest affects your body and mind, though often in more subtle ways. Nutrition is the foundation for your physical and mental health and we work to harness this powerful tool to bring every cell and system in your body into balance to create healing and a lifetime of health.

We start by using advanced functional medicine laboratory testing, including the Walsh Advanced Metabolic Panel, to determine the root causes of illness. Dr. Braud prescribes a nutrient protocol using the results of the testing, which includes targeted high dose nutrients and incorporating nutrient-dense foods into the diet.

I create a customized plan for integrating the protocol into our client’s life, including accessing medical grade professional supplements, suggestions for lifestyle adjustments, tools, strategies, recipes and menu plans. I work one-on-one with our clients to implement the plan, coaching and supporting them and their families on diet and lifestyle changes to create success.

We are a powerful healing team that combines the knowledge of the nutrient protocol with the support of a nutritionist for follow through.

A holistic nutritional approach may be the answer.  If you are looking for an easy, quick fix for your symptoms, then our approach isn’t for you. If you are interested in learning new tools to create healing and are willing to work together on creating a diet and lifestyle that establishes lasting health, reach out today for a consultation.
