Chinese Nutrition Consultations

Upgrade your relationship with nourishment.

Chinese Nutrition is centered around the energetics of the food we consume. Understanding the energy of food and how your body responds to that energy is key in maximizing your overall health. Chinese Nutrition challenges the way our Western minds think about food. It brings us in closer to the food we consume to connect with its energy. When we start to understand the energy of the food we consume, we can harness that energy to serve our optimal health, based on our specific needs.

• Using Food as Medicine

• Whole Foods

• Bringing your closer to your true nature

My Story…

As a young teenage ballerina, I began my struggle with eating disorders. My relationship with myself was horrific and thus, so was my relationship with food. It was the moment my hair began falling out that fear set in and I realized something in my life had to change. One my greatest struggles was that I sought to be vegetarian and at the time, no one around me understood vegetarianism or how one who is vegetarian ought to find nourishment. Once, I started to educate myself on my preferred diet, I began to feel a little bit better. Though I was not cured of my eating disorder, I had improved my relationship with food and was eating. Over time, through talking to nutritionists, receiving acupuncture and doing a lot of self work, I found my way to receiving nutrition positively.

I felt good, but I didn’t feel GREAT.

As more time passed, I gained more and more insight into my health. I started acupuncture school in 2018 and was required to take additional nutrition credits. I found Tao Star’s Chinese Nutrition Educator program and settled in to my coursework. I found immediately that the pieces I had been missing to bring me from feeling good to great lived within the the fabric of Chinese Medicine. I determined, with the help of my acupuncturist, that feeling cold all the time, having energy drops at certain times of day, and a sense of weariness emotionally was related to the foods I was consuming, the way I combined these foods, the way I prepared these foods and even the time of day in which I consumed the foods.

Food immediately became an ally to HEALING my body.

After so many years of struggling physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, I had put the pieces together to bring my health to an optimal level. It wasn’t complicated. I didn’t have to change my dietary preferences. And, I felt a shift within days of making simple changes. I was an instant believer in Chinese Nutrition because it changed my life. I finished my coursework and became a Certified Nutrition Educator to share this work with those who resonate with it.
