Meet Lee

My many years of nursing have provided me the opportunity to work with individuals to improve their health in both a clinical, as well as a classroom environment. I became especially interested in nutrition when I experienced my own health challenges with my cholesterol level. I’ve studied all the major nutritional theories and have a passion for empowering others to take ownership of their health, however; I realize this is not always an easy task to undertake on our own. I coach using techniques fostering compassion, honesty, and accountability in a nonjudgmental approach to propel my clients towards success in their wellness journey. My background and experience has allowed me to work with a variety of clients, from those needing direction with diabetes, weight management and low energy levels, to those with cardiovascular and autoimmune disease.

I personally struggled with my own weight issues, especially in my youth, and know what it feels like to always want to be a different size. I’m aware how the factors in our daily life, such as food, our environment, our emotional clarity, and exercise greatly impact our health. My focus will always be on you and improving the balance and happiness in your life that is achieved through optimal health.

One of my passions is being a life long learner and I am currently pursuing my Master in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine degree, which I anticipate finishing in 2015. I have taken numerous courses on subjects including, Gastrointestinal Imbalances, Detoxification and Biotransformation, and the Psychology of Well-being, and incorporate this learning into each client’s unique plan and program. I truly look forward to meeting you and having the opportunity to work with you. * Institute for Functional Medicine.
