As a certified pet nutrition professional (CPCN, PNCC) with additional certification in animal naturopathy, I help pet parents feel confident in what they’re feeding by providing personalized, whole-food nutrition guidance tailored to their pet’s individual needs.

With over 15 years of experience in wellness support, I specialize in providing one-on-one canine nutrition consults and balanced fresh and raw food formulation, commercial food recommendations and more. My evidence-based approach supports digestion, mobility, skin health, and overall wellness from the inside out, ensuring that your pet thrives at every stage of life.

I proudly serve a variety of animals, specializing in dogs. My services extend beyond basic nutrition, offering specialized care such as GI/IBD-focused plans, allergy elimination, and weight management. With my comprehensive guidance, I walk you through safe transitions to nourishing high quality feeding plans, ensuring the journey to optimal health is seamless and effective.

To further empower pet parents, I offer educational sessions that include food label decoding and homemade recipe guidance. For those who prefer the convenience of virtual support, I also provide online sessions tailored to your specific needs.

Whether you are looking to enhance your pet’s longevity with preventive care or need ongoing coaching in functional nutrition, I am here to provide compassionate, personalized support. My mobile services allow me to bring my expertise directly to your doorstep within my travel radius, or we can connect virtually from the comfort of your home.

How did you hone your craft?

I’ve honed my craft through a combination of formal education and hands-on experience. I’m a Certified Professional Canine Nutritionist (CPCN) and Certified Pet Nutrition Coach (PNCC), with additional training in animal naturopathy and advanced canine nutrition, and I continue to study evidence-based, species-appropriate feeding practices. Most importantly, I’ve spent years formulating fresh and raw diets for my own dogs and clients, learning firsthand how real food can support digestion, mobility, skin health, and overall longevity.

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?

Start simple and focus on real food. You don’t have to be perfect overnight — even small upgrades like adding fresh whole foods or reducing highly processed ingredients can make a big difference. Consistency and balance matter more than chasing trends, and your dog’s body will tell you what’s working.

What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!

I treat every dog like my own. My approach is thoughtful, detail-oriented, and never one-size-fits-all. I genuinely care about helping families feel confident and supported, not overwhelmed, and I’m always here to guide you step-by-step through the process.
