There were two critical moments in my life that led me to a career in nutrition: losing 50 pounds in high school and working on organic farms after college. As a teenager, I was overweight, unhappy and tired of dieting. I was bullied and often pressured by others to fit into what was considered "thin" and "beautiful."

Evidence-based nutrition pair well with traditional medicine and clinical evidence: we use the latest scientific research to support our recommendations, but also incorporate ancient medicine philosophies such as Vitalism, Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and overall clinical experience.

I worked with Vanessa and right off the bat I could tell she was in it for the right reasons! Cheering me on, showing empathy towards my feelings and history surrounding food, and providing so many great resources to start my journey of getting healthier. She quickly helped me face my reality of mindless eating and binging and I began to look at my relationship with food in a whole new light.
