About Anne

After more than 25 years, in clinical, corporate wellness, and community health settings, I bring practical experience and curiosity to every conversation. I earned a BS from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Medical Center and a MSEd from the University of Kansas. I practice as a dietitian, supporting people with digestive issues like IBS and gluten sensitivity with FODMAP certification and chronic conditions as a Certified Diabetes Care Education Specialist. I love cooking, gardening, fitness, traveling and time outdoors. My passion for food shapes how I help people translate evidence into enjoyable, doable meals. I’m passionate about collaboration, empowerment, and being a supportive partner as we build lasting habits together.

Approach to care

Current research evidence and empathy guide how I work with people. I will listen to your health concerns preferences, and priorities. Together we’ll create steps that emphasize sustainable habits rather than quick fixes or diet rules. I look at your whole health pertaining to nutrition, sleep and stress while addressing mental, emotional and lifestyle factors. I offer practical strategies so you understand the why behind choices. The goal is progress you can maintain, in a judgment-free space where you feel seen and supported.

Your first session with Anne

Expect a warm, get to know you conversation where we’ll review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you bring. We’ll talk about your routines, wins, and frustrations so we can establish a couple of realistic short-term goals that fit your life. You don’t need to have everything figured out beforehand, and there’s no judgment for where you are now. My role is to listen, translate the science into practical next steps, and partner with you as we track progress and adjust the plan together.
