The Promise That Built This Practice

In 2015, I walked into the Cleveland Clinic's Integrative and Functional Medicine department in a wheelchair.

I was 17 years old. I'd been having unexplained episodes since I was 13 — conscious, unable to move or speak, with no clear answers from anyone. Misdiagnosed multiple times. Told my labs were "normal" until they weren't. Told it was probably anxiety, probably stress, probably nothing.

That appointment was the first time someone looked at the full picture instead of dismissing what I was experiencing.

And sitting across from her — finally being heard — I asked the question that has shaped my career ever since:

"How do we make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else?"

I went home with a plan for my body. And I left with an obligation.

Balance Blue Collective grew from that experience. It is a practice built to give clients more time, context, and individualized nutrition care—while complementing the medical care and other support they may already receive.

If that's you, or if that's someone you love — I'd be glad to talk.

How I work with you.

  • Personalized, Not Generic

    No two people have the same history, needs, or day-to-day circumstances. Your nutrition care is developed around your individual symptoms, medical history, food intake, lifestyle, available laboratory data, goals, and preferences.

  • Evidence-Based & Integrative

    I combine evidence-based dietetics with additional training in integrative and functional nutrition. This creates a systems-based approach that considers the whole person while keeping recommendations within my scope and competence as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.

  • Sustainable, Not Restrictive

    The goal is not a quick fix or unnecessary restriction. It is to build practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies that can support your health and remain sustainable in real life.

You might be in the right place if...

✦ You are navigating fatigue, brain fog, bloating, digestive discomfort, or other concerns that may benefit from individualized nutrition support
