Allison’s enjoys working with someone who loves food and cooking and is looking for attainable ways to improve their eating habits. She loves to help clients plan grocery shopping and meals to suit their dietary needs; especially to those with busy schedules and demanding family life.
Why is Allison a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist?
Allison has always loved science and had a passion for botany starting at a young age. Her first degree was in Biology where she enjoyed learning about all of the life sciences. As she progressed into her 20’s her passion for food and gardening grew and she loved learning about nutrients, micro and macro in all of the foods she ate. She decided to take a leap and enroll in an Applied Human Nutrition program.
I enjoy teaching patients and clients about the power that food can have in our health and wellness journeys.
How does Allison stay healthy?
Allison loves to keep busy listening to podcasts while walking her dog, running and lifting weights, and swimming to beat the Arizona heat. When not doing the above activities, you would find Allison in her garden. Allison is a mom to 3 boys, aged 4 and under. Some days don’t involve any structured physical activity; just keeping up with the boys is plenty!

She holds her WSET level 2 certification and plans to continue to obtain her level 3 certification whenever her busy homelife allows for it.
