I have met with several nutritionists and dieticians over the years and none have come close to having the knowledge and expertise that Zen has. I have some unique health situations and Zen was knowledgeable about most topics and was helpful with information and suggestions about how to improve my diet and lifestyle! I like that Zen is natural and holistic in her approach and has many great resources to share with her clients. I would highly recommend Zen to anyone and have recommended her to a few friends!!

“Zen has changed my life in ways I never thought possible! She helped me gain control of my disordered eating habits and I live so much happier for it!”

After working with Zen, I’m no longer scared that I don’t know what to eat, or that I’m going to die because I can’t eat anything! She is always reassuring & kind. She has helped me survive!!! And when I don’t get it right or, I cheat with something, she is understanding & helps me get back on track.

Zen's holistic approach helped me visualize where I was and needed to be with my overall health. Her guidance has greatly helped me improve, from creating good habits that I can actually stick to and helping me challenge myself to making good decisions. I love the progress we have made and am very excited to continuing working together and reaching the goals she has helped me set. Thank you Zen, you have changed my life!

Working with Zen was transformative. Her expertise guided me to healthier food choices, but what set her apart was her genuine empathy and truly holistic. It wasn't just about the meals; it was about nourishing my entire well-being. Grateful for the positive impact on my health journey!
