Picture
The concept behind Lighter Life Nutrition is based on my many years of experience and the struggles I have observed (and personally experienced) as my clients struggle to improve their health, and stay healthy within a hectic environment that often encourages habits that are in direct contrast to health. I have worked in the nutrition field for over 25 years as a dietitian and diabetes educator. My practice is based on the observation that knowing what to do and actually doing it can be very different, and celebrating daily victories with my clients. 

Individual appointments, visit packages, and monthly memberships are available. Designed especially for you based on your personal goals, sound nutrition practices, and the support and accountability most need for success. I have many options available for the busy lifestyle- in-person office visits, videoconferencing for appointments on the go, and a client portal and tracking app that keeps us connected, and allows you to track your specific goals. If exercise or fitness are part of your goals, I have a background in exercise physiology and have teamed up with a personal trainer.

Together we offer Nutrition/Fitness Plans that are aimed at your specific health needs. I do not travel to my clients (my trainer may). If you are a resident of Illinois, I can help you remotely via 
                                 video conferencing.

I offer holistic health counseling, psychotherapy, and Gentle Remedies self-care resources and support. My primary focus is families with young children who are suffering from behavior, communication, family, or school changes and challenges. I also help teens and adults seeking holistic psychotherapy.

Sessions include solution-focused psychotherapy techniques that keep you moving toward personal and family wellness goals. All services include culturally sensitive counseling, home remedies, mindfulness stress-reduction, education about the energetics of foods, traditional Chinese and western herbal medicine, and health decision making support. Tough problems and family crisis are most welcome. Telehealth services available for established clients.

My specialty is helping infants and young children, in partnership with their parents and caregivers, pregnancy-age 5. Feeding or behavior concerns, adoption, preemies, gifted (fast learners), communication problems: tantrums, hitting or biting. I see adults with issues related to early childhood and who prefer holistic psychotherapy with herbal remedies.

In Child-Parent Psychotherapy I use movement and play therapy, such as puppets. I specialize in non-pharmacological care in young children and simple, effective home care remedies with herbs that advance behavioral change. I consult on decisions about medical marijuana as well as other herbal remedies, dietary supplements, and complementary therapies. I also consult in legal matters involving young children.
