Meet Julia

There are many highly qualified nutritionists, all with different education, training and focus. Let me tell you some of key principles that guide my work so you can get a sense about whether we might be a good fit.

  • I love learning and research and spend a great deal of time doing both. When working with me, you will receive recommendations grounded in the most current nutritional guidelines and research.
  • I support women from pre-conception through postpartum, ensuring the healthiest possible start for both mother and baby. I focus on translating the latest science into actionable, compassionate advice that helps you and your baby thrive.
  • Real food. Whole food. Nutrient dense food. Whatever you call it, that is the food I eat and recommend. It is a cornerstone of good health!
  • We are all busy. I get it. My three children are all now young adults but for 20+ years, I juggled cooking healthy meals around their busy school and sports schedules. Home cooking is a key to good health. It is a challenge but it can be done! I teach clients the recipes, tips and tricks I learned along the way.
  • Food provides nourishment on many levels. I work with clients to foster a healthy relationship with food, encouraging them to find the joy and social connection food can bring, as well as the freedom to incorporate their favorite foods in moderation. Food should not be about guilt and deprivation. It should be a joyful part of your day!
