About Me

What Brought Me To EBT

I actually started working with Laurel in the late 80's when she created the Shape Down program for children and families struggling with weight and eating concerns. I knew I loved her approach and the science behind it, so it only made sense to dive in and learn more when The Solution Program (now EBT) first arrived in 1997. I completed the whole program myself and became a provider in 1998. EBT has changed my life in profound and important ways and I delight in bringing these skills to others.

My Professional History

I am a Registered Dietitian with a Master's in Exercise Science. I hold Personal Training certifications from the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Strength and Conditioning Association. I have held two fairly continuous professional positions throughout my career because I believe in these organizations and have seen and felt the difference they are making in this world: The YMCA of Greater Richmond and EBT.
