Welcome
I Believe That Your Food Cravings Are Intelligence, Not Weakness
A large amount of Food Stress is caused by Misreading Everyday Nervous System Regulation.
Your nervous system always knows exactly what it is doing.
And what most people don't realize is that food is one way the nervous system communicates.

A LITTLE ABOUT MY STORY
I am a Holistic Focused Registered Dietitian who believes that eating is best when it is "Intuitive" and Non-Judgemental. I steer clear of labeling foods as "good" or "bad" or food policing of any kind.
I also feel that supportive nutrition is not a result of a thin silhouette (ie. HAES), but the attention given to the ideal wellness of the mind, body, and spirit.
✺ ✺ ✺
My intentional wellness journey didn’t begin in calm—it began in high-stress
clinical environments as a Registered Dietitian.
For years, I supported others while quietly running on empty myself.
At first, I told myself I could handle it.
Because honestly, I think I’ve carried this way of seeming like I can handle everything… and over time, that’s what others have come to rely on in me.
But over time, the exhaustion became harder to ignore.
I found myself needing more and more space—stepping away, retreating into quiet, just to feel like myself again.
✺ ✺ ✺
Not because I was doing anything wrong…
but because something deeper wasn’t being supported.
That’s what led me beyond conventional approaches—
into naturopathy, holistic and intuitive nutrition, energy medicine, sound therapy, and related modalities.
I wasn’t searching for something “alternative.”
I was searching for something that finally felt like it matched what I was experiencing inside.

Then My Approach to Food—and the Body—Began to Evolve
That season changed how I understood wellness entirely.
After years of working in both clinical and Intuitive Eating nutrition, it became clear that food behaviors were only one piece of a much deeper, connected experience.
It was in those early years that I realized that....
Stress, emotions, nervous system patterns, and nourishment were always intertwined.
That may be part of the reason why even though you try to stay grounded with food that nourishes you,
it still feels like things are all over the place when it comes to eating.

SavorSense grew from that realization—a way to bring those pieces back together in a way that actually feels supportive and sustainable.
It’s personal because it came from living that disconnect, and finding a way back into something more whole.
