If you have experienced cancer, you may feel a sense of loss of control. That your body has let you down. It is important for you to recover with strength without resorting to diets eliminating food groups or feeling overwhelmed by food choices. Breast cancer stands as the most diagnosed cancer worldwide with millions of survivors. I count myself among them. I pursued a career as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist after obtaining a Master's degree in Nutritional Science. Additionally, I have undergone training to earn my registered dietitian credential. Through my practice, I offer solutions tailored specifically to address concerns related to breast and ovarian cancers. I am also the author of a book on nutrition and its impact on cancer. Furthermore, I co-led a study on nutrition, for cancer survivors which was published in the journal Nutrients. I specialize in providing nutrition guidance focusing on eating, mindfulness, and promoting health at every size. My approach involves incorporating plant-based foods to help you reconnect with your body's strengths. With my qualifications, as a nutritionist and educator, I have the expertise to translate science into practical solutions that are tailored to your specific needs.
