WELCOME!

The Nourished Life is an independent nutrition private practice located in Elmira, New York.

Through personalized education and support, our goal is to empower you in your pursuit of a healthier lifestyle.

Our nutrition counseling services are FULLY COVERED by many health insurance plans meaning there is likely no cost to you. We are in-network with most major insurances and will happily check your benefits to confirm coverage.

Our provider’s specialty is diabetes; but, as a dietitian, she is qualified to provide nutrition counseling for a variety of medical diagnoses and, of course, preventative healthy eating habits. Individually-tailored private appointments are available in-person or via telehealth.

Certified Diabetes Specialist

Hello! I am a food pun-loving, carb-eating, anti-diet dietitian with special expertise in diabetes. In 2021, I left my 9-5 corporate job to pursue freedom and flexibility in private practice. My food philosophy is all about balance- not low calorie or low fat, not being hungry and feeling deprived. Rather, it is nourishing your body with real, wholesome, and flavorful foods so that you feel satisfied and energized to enjoy life to the fullest.

Client Testimonials

“I am so happy my doctor referred me to you. You have been exceptionally responsive, encouraging, and informative. You listened to me and helped me realize that consistency is better than perfection. As a result of our time together, I was able to get my blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure down to where my doctor took me off two medications!”

“We want to tell you (and anyone else who will listen) how valuable your knowledge, wisdom, insight, patience, and sweet personality have been to us. There are not words to express our appreciation for you and your patient understanding of how this diagnosis has impacted our lives. We know that we would not be as far along in the process as we are had it not been for you ‘holding our hands’ as we went through this transition.”

“I wish I would have known this was an available service years ago. I’ve really been missing out. I can’t believe how much better I feel by following your nutrition recommendations. I can actually make it through the day without napping. My wife and I have time together now since I’m not sleeping all day. I’m just so relieved to have my life back. Thank you!”

“As a result of your recommendations, I did not wake up between 4 and 6 AM with an urgent low. Instead, I woke up this morning with a blood sugar of 120. Baby steps are working and I’m honestly so relieved! I still have much to learn but will move forward with confidence because of the hope you have instilled in me. Thanks for helping me not be so afraid and for motivating me to do this!”

“I just watched a video with a doctor talking about the mind-body connection and how Western medicine has a tendency to ignore it. And I thought about how you have worked with me, and I just wanted to say thank you so much. You have been treating me like a person and not just a patient; I never consciously thought about how important that is.”
