With a doctorate in Integrative Healthcare, I bring advanced expertise that allows me to blend traditional healthcare with innovative and complementary approaches.

What Clients Say

“My 30-year old daughter, C., has autism and had gained an extremely unhealthy amount of weight. Her PCP referred us to Jean. Between February, 2024 and July, 2025, Jean has guided us through meal plans, healthier meal options, healthier snack options, portion control, and exercise recommendations. C. has lost 78 pounds during this time and is now less than 5 pounds from her target weight. We continue to work with Jean while maintaining C.'s weight loss.”

– J.C.A.

“Jean is an amazing dietitian. She provided me with emotional support in addition to personalized calories for my health issues, which included difficulty eating due to food allergies and a feeding tube. She never made me feel dismissed and took the time to understand my poorly understood, infrequently diagnosed disorders such as gastroparesis, dysautonomia, food allergies, and MCAS. When I needed a friend, an advocate, a helper, a voice, she stood alongside me and cheered me on. I highly suggest her to all my fellow chronic illness warriors, and just to everyone in general. She "gets it," and that's what you deserve.”
