I am a Functional Nutritionist and the owner of Finding Balance Functional Nutrition. I have certifications from the Nutritional Therapy Association and Restorative Wellness Solutions as well as advanced training in supplement use. My goal is to empower individuals to become more knowledgeable about their own health through nutrition and lifestyle interventions. My focus is on gut health and hormones, working with women over 40 who are ready to take charge of their own health to feel energized & confident again. I live in Holmdel, NJ with my husband and two teenage sons.

My philosophy is very simple - nourish your body with real, nutrient-dense whole foods. Learn to find balance in the foods you choose so you can enjoy life and not feel restricted but instead confident and fulfilled with your choices. Get active and find something you enjoy to relieve your stress and feel good in your body. And finally, small changes over time that become habits can significantly improve your health.

When working with me, a client can expect a full review of their pertinent health history. I generally ask for a little pre-work - a nutritional assessment questionnaire, a health history form and a few days of a food journal. We will dig deep into symptoms and concerns, then work together to create a plan for next steps. These next steps might involved dietary or lifestyle modifications, supplement suggestions or even some lab testing.

I love to empower my clients via education, not just hand them a list of foods to (not) eat or supplements to swallow. It is so rewarding to show people that even seemingly small changes in diet and lifestyle can have such a huge impact in how they feel every day!
