YOU DESERVE TO BE HEARD

You don't need more willpower. You need a plan made for you.

People of different backgrounds sharing a high-five — welcoming, inclusive nutrition care

You've probably done the research, tried the apps, and followed the rules and STILL ended up feeling stuck and a little defeated. Here's the truth: lasting change was never about trying harder. It's about having support that actually fits the life you're living.

That's where I come in. Together we'll look at what's really driving things, what's realistic for you right now, and what you genuinely want, then build an approach around it.

Welcome to Arbuckle Nutrition, your dedicated space to optimal health and well-being. Together, we will transform your daily habits into a powerful routine for higher energy, better health and a vibrant life. As your wellness advocate, I bring a wealth of expertise in evidence-based nutrition.

I'm committed to helping you build a realistic, sustainable approach to eating… one that supports your mind, your body, and how you feel day to day. Together, we'll move at a pace that works for you, with steady guidance you can count on.

A Few Fun Facts:

When I'm not talking nutrition…

  • I'm growing a vegetable garden (with mixed but enthusiastic results).

  • I volunteer weekly at an animal shelter with farm animals (pigs, goats, chickens, and an emu). Two of the pigs weigh 700 pounds each.

  • I’m an amateur boxer and have been boxing for the past 6 years. I have one fight. I am currently taking a break this summer and doing alternative forms of physical fitness 

  • I've lived all over: Upstate New York, Baltimore, Northern Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

CARE THAT DOESN'T LEAVE YOU BEHIND

Real support, grounded in real science

Having worked across so many corners of healthcare, I've seen how easily people fall through the cracks… between providers, between appointments, between one stage of care and the next. I built this practice to close that gap.

My recommendations are rooted in current evidence, not trends or quick fixes. We'll work at a pace that feels sustainable, build skills you can actually keep, and make sure you understand the "why" behind every step, so you leave more confident, not more confused.
