A Little About Me
I am a chef-turned-dietitian with a lifelong passion for food. I absolutely love helping clients discover new foods and develop strategies to address both their nutritional needs and wants. My goal is to help you feel well-nourished and not be intimidated by food or cooking.
I spent over a decade at some of Durham and Chapel Hill’s best restaurants, curating a personal style that is locally sourced, plant-forward, and often lighter. These days, my own meals are often much simpler, but I still love bringing that same curiosity and creativity to the way I approach nutrition.

Want to work together?
We’d be a great fit if…
You want practical ideas for real-life situations, whether that’s figuring out what to eat at work, getting back into a routine after travel, or simply making everyday meals feel a little easier.
You’re curious about food and like understanding the “why” behind nutrition, not just being told what to eat.
Ready to
- gain clarity around your personal nutrition needs
- conquer the barriers that hold you back
- gain confidence in the kitchen
- build healthier habits that last?
I love helping you…
- improve cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
- make the most of your GLP-1 medication
- balance your blood sugar levels and lower A1c with prediabetes
- lose weight without getting caught up in another restrictive diet
- build a sustainable approach to weight management
- plan meals that work for your schedule, preferences, and real life
- feel more confident cooking and trying new foods
- fuel your body for workouts, training, and an active lifestyle
- let go of food guilt and diet rules
- navigate emotional eating with more curiosity and less judgment
- eat more plants without giving up the foods you love
A few things we can work on together:
Prediabetes · High Cholesterol · Meal Planning · Cooking and Food Confidence · Fitness Nutrition · Sustainable Weight Loss · GLP1 Nutrition · Overcoming Diet Culture · Food Guilt · Emotional Eating · Plant-Forward Eating
On a personal note...
My spouse and I have two young children that keep us constantly on our toes. We all share a love for hiking, camping, and cycling on both roads and trails.

What Working Together Looks Like
We’ll Start With A Clarity Call
Tell me where you are on your wellness journey and where you feel stuck. We’ll see if Well Balanced Nutrition can help! If it seems like a good fit, the next step is to schedule your initial nutrition assessment.
Initial Assessment + Road Map
This meeting is all about you! I’ll ask about your health history, lifestyle, nutrition habits and goals. We’ll work together to map out your personal path to feeling your best and get you moving in the right direction.
Follow Up Coaching
This is truly where the magic happens. We’ll build on your progress, work through speed bumps, and adjust as needed. I’ll provide accountability and practical support to help you make lasting changes.
Have questions before you begin?
We get it. A free, no-pressure call with Christy gives you space to talk through what you’re looking for, ask questions, and decide what feels like the right next step, without any pressure to become a client.
