Hi! My name is Sarah and I am a Registered Dietitian with my Master of Science degree in Pediatric Nutrition from Saint Louis University (Go Billikens!). I started my dietetics career at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (Go Illini!), where I received my Bachelors in Food Science and Human Nutrition. Throughout my dietetics career, I have worked in hospitals as a clinical dietitian where I learned how nutrition can improve health outcomes for conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and digestive issues. I have been a nutrition counselor for a variety of outpatient programs including pediatric diabetes camp, organic gardening classes, and weight management programs. I am also currently a pediatric dietitian that loves helping children and families understand how important nutrition is and why impacts their health in everyday life.
My nutrition philosophy is simple; I am here to help you on your journey to better health, whatever that may be. I do not believe in the "one size fits all" diet approach because no one is the same. I use nutrition counseling and motivational interviewing to help you find the tools YOU need for achieving YOUR nutrition goals. With my education background and past experiences, I use evidence based information paired with realistic practices to make a nutrition program right for you. I welcome a casual, positive environment where we work together to create a healthy life you will love!
I love using my spare time to catch up with friends at the new restaurant in town or festivals. When the weather is nice, you can find me enjoying outdoor activities like bike riding, walking my golden retriever puppy, and playing beach volleyball. I also enjoy indoor rock climbing, going to as many country concerts as possible, and baking healthy(ish) treats!
