I began my career as a Registered Dietitian teaching nutrition and healthy cooking in schools, clinics, farmers' markets, and grocery stores. I opened my private practice in 2015 to help individuals and families improve their health through food and nutrition. I love what I do! In my spare time I enjoy testing recipes with my two young children and going on walks with my dachshund.
I'm a hands on teacher and I like to incorporate practical skills into every counseling session. This includes goal setting, meal planning, and recipes that will work for you. Every BODY is different, so I treat every person I see as an individual. I have received advanced training in motivational interviewing, which is a patient-centered approach that puts you first!

I've been working with Leah since this summer on ways to keep my blood pressure in check and lose some weight that has crept up over the years. She gave me some really helpful advice that has been easy to follow. I'm 56 years old and down 30 pounds since we first met. I did this without doing anything drastic. I definitely recommend working with her.
