Evidence-Informed Nutrition for Cancer, Lymphedema & Lipedema

Guidance you can trust. Support that meets you where you are.

If you’re living with cancer, lymphedema, or lipedema—and you’re tired of vague advice, conflicting information, or being told “nutrition doesn’t really matter”—you’re in the right place.

I’m a registered dietitian, cancer survivor, and author, with a focused clinical practice in cancer nutrition, lymphedema, and lipedema. This work isn’t theoretical for me. I understand both the science and the lived cancer experience, and I help adults use nutrition in practical, realistic ways to support treatment, recovery, and long-term health.

Who I Work With

My practice is especially suited for adults who want evidence-based, thoughtful nutrition support for:

• Cancer (during and after treatment)

• Lymphedema

• Lipedema

I also work with clients who need support for:

• High cholesterol

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

• Wound healing

• Healthy weight and muscle building

• Nutrition to complement GLP-1 use

All counselling is provided virtually, making it accessible wherever you live.

What Makes My Approach Different

Nutrition advice shouldn’t feel confusing, rigid, or disconnected from real life. My role is to help you understand what you’re doing—and why it matters.

When we work together:

• You’ll receive personalized recommendations, not generic meal plans

• I explain the science behind each suggestion, in plain language

• You’ll never be asked to “just trust me” or follow rules that don’t make sense to you

• We focus on sustainable strategies that fit your health goals and daily life

I stay up to date on the latest research and translate it into clear, actionable guidance—so you can feel confident in your decisions rather than overwhelmed by information.

Lymphedema Nutrition School

In addition to 1:1 counselling, I offer Lymphedema Nutrition School, an online program designed specifically for people living with lymphedema.

This program is available in:

• Live group sessions, for real-time teaching and support

• Self-study format, so you can learn at your own pace

It’s ideal for those who want a structured, research-based approach to nutrition for lymphedema, without needing ongoing private sessions.

Author & Educator

I’m the author of four books that bring together clinical research and practical guidance:

• The Essential Cancer Treatment Nutrition Guide and Cookbook

• The Complete Lymphedema Management and Nutrition Guide

• Complete Intermittent Fasting

• Complementary Therapies for Lymphedema

These resources are used by individuals and health professionals alike and reflect the same philosophy I bring to my practice: evidence first, explained clearly, applied thoughtfully.
