About Us
The Nutrition Clinic is a nutrition private practice located in Port St Lucie, Florida providing nutrition counseling to children and adults. Our approach is centered around evidenced-based Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) to promote healthy outcomes based on an individual’s nutritional needs and medical history. We believe in the “non-diet” approach that focuses on delicious foods for everyday living. We do not emphasize calories, carbs, fats – although they do matter. Unlike other plans and experts that emphasize diet, our focus is centered on fostering healthy eating habits for the long term. Our goal is your goal - whether it's weight loss, diabetes, or chronic disease management.
Our Philosophy
Our mission is to educate and inspire our clients to pursue lifelong energy, nutrition and health. Together, we will develop a customized eating blue print for your success.
Our Motto
Our motto is – it’s not a diet, it’s a way of life. Understanding that small changes can lead to lasting results, we can help you find a total eating plan that works for you and your lifestyle.
What We Do
Weight Management
Diet and exercise need to be balanced in order to achieve successful weight loss. You can exercise as much as you'd like but if you are not eating healthy, you will not receive the full benefit of weight loss, and vice versa. We can educate you on ways to incorporate healthy eating and exercise into your lifestyle and create an individualized plan to achieve your goals.
Conquer Disordered Eating
Our team is specialized in helping people overcome eating disorders such as food addiction, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and others. Our goal is to help you change the way you perceive food and fitness, and develop a positive body image. If you struggle with an eating disorder, you should know that we believe clients can recover and live a healthy, happy life.
Detoxing for Health
Detoxing will clear out toxins from your body and give your digestive system a break to heal and restore naturally, before introducing new eating habits and food. Your mentality and how you view food will drastically alter how effective weight loss and detox will work. Our goal is to set you up for success and shift the way you relate to food.

My Journey
I started my journey in health and nutrition in 2006. I had graduated college with a cartography degree and was on my way to Paris to study language. Around that time, my father was diagnosed with congestive heart failure from years of elevated high blood pressure. I became convinced that healthy nutrition was the cure to my dad's increasing failing health.
