Welcome!
I am a Clinical Nutritionist and Holistic Health Counselor based in Encinitas, serving Carlsbad, Solana Beach, Del Mar and all of San Diego. I have studied prevailing dietary theories and clinical aspects of health and nutrition.
I established The Whole Journey to help people live healthier, happier and more energetic lives through whole food nutrition, supplementation and healthy lifestyle guidance. Each program is uniquely tailored to the individual to holistically heal common chronic health concerns.
While most dieticians dwell on calories, carbs, fats, proteins, restrictions and lists of good and bad foods, The Whole Journey philosophy is to provide clients with the ‘tools’ to create a happy, healthy and holistic life in a way that is flexible, fun and free of willpower and denial.
A true holistic approach to life incorporates things that nourish other than food, including honest and open relationships, a meaningful spiritual practice, a career that inspires you, and physical activity that you enjoy. These elements are called Primary Food. As a Health Counselor, I will work with you to help you find balance in both Primary Foods and the foods you eat on a daily basis. I will guide you to make gradual, lifelong changes that enable you to reach your current and future health goals.
Within this website you will find nutritional counseling information, health videos, over 200 recipes, corporate workshop offerings and a product review resource for all kinds of high integrity products and services that optimize individual health and wellbeing.
My mission is to help as many people as possible to both heal and achieve vibrant health and well-being by providing life-changing nutritional education, resources and counseling. If you are looking to improve your health and well-being, please call me at (760) 533-0163 for a free 15-minute chat to see if I am the right practitioner for you.
