What clients say
If you are seeking nutritional health guidance from an exceptional individual, you are in the right place!
Christina demonstrates not only an exceptional depth of knowledge in her field, but also the ability to convey it with clarity, empathy, enthusiasm, encouragement, and good humor. I greatly appreciated all of these qualities as she helped me transition into a lifestyle of gluten free living when a medical diagnosis necessitated that.
As a physician, my questions were endless, and Christina patiently and expertly answered them all; she educated me more than I could have ever asked for! Christina made the early part of my journey far easier than I ever thought it would be, and I am very grateful!
I had an amazing experience with Christina!
Her expertise and personalized approach transformed my relationship with food. She took the time to understand my goals, lifestyle, and preferences, crafting a practical and sustainable plan that worked perfectly for me.
Her guidance was clear, evidence-based, and delivered with genuine care, making every session encouraging and motivating. I’ve seen incredible results, from increased energy to improved lab work. I highly recommend Christina’s services to anyone looking to make positive, lasting changes—truly deserving of 5 stars!
Christina has an amazing energy. She continues to support me through a major dietary change by providing nutrition education and a variety of menu options. But what I wasn’t expecting was the compassion and emotional support that Christina provides. She has helped me work through my psychological connection with food, an experience which has been most impactful.

Christina is great to work with and very professional. She was very instrumental in getting me on the right track. Highly recommend her.
How I work
01
A plan only works if it fits your home and the people you share meals with.
02
Daily, not drastic. Small choices that compound.
03
No shame either. If a plan needs guilt to work, it does not work.
04
Your history and habits come before any plan, every time.
05
One realistic thing at a time.
Beyond the letters
I trained in both clinical nutrition and public health. One taught me how food affects conditions like celiac disease, IBS and diabetes. The other taught me how people actually eat at home.
With more than 20 years of experience in clinical research, a passion for food and graduate-level training in nutrition and public health, I believe better health and lasting change happen one meal at a time, one choice at a time.
