About Nourivana
My focus
At Nourivana Nutrition, I'm all about improving not only your physical health, but your mental relationship with food too. I work to challenge diet culture beliefs and help you enjoy all food. Messages around nutrition have gotten far too confusing. I'm here to help sift through the weeds (& the BS) and discover what works for YOU! We're all just humans trying our best - food should make that easier, not harder.
​
My practice focuses primarily on disordered eating, weight management, diabetes management, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, perimenopause/menopause, and nutrition in substance use disorder recovery. Overall, general nutrition and balanced eating are at the core.
If you're looking for guidance regarding something not listed above, contact me to see if I can still be a good fit for supporting your needs!

About Me
My background
I am a Minnesota-based Registered Dietitian, born and raised in Iowa. I obtained my Bachelor's in Dietetics from Iowa State University (Go Cyclones!) and a Master's in Nutrition from Illinois State University. I also completed my supervised practice hours and passed the national exam to receive the RD credential shortly after.
Even as a Dietitian, I don't eat perfectly (not even close!). I'm just as human as everyone else. My background includes disordered eating and substance use disorder recovery, both of which hold special places in my heart and professional practice.
I love fresh leafy green salads, and also frosting-filled long john donuts with sprinkles on top - sooo good! I love yoga, weight lifting, snowboarding, soccer, and outdoor walks. I also equally love reading and taking long naps with my cats. ​​
