I've been traditionally trained in the science of diet and nutrition, receiving my Master of Science and Registered Dietitian degrees from Meredith College in Raleigh, North Carolina. Realizing the limitations of traditional treatment for many aspects of wellness, I sought out extensive training in the field of Integrative Functional Medicine. I have completed Advanced Practice Modules from the Institute of Functional Medicine and am an Integrative Functional Nutrition Certified Practitioner from IFNA. Learning feeds my curiosity and keeps me engaged and up to date in this ever-changing and evolving field.

Dr. Aviva Romm's Women's Functional & Integrative Medicine Professional Training Program provided a life-changing opportunity to gain insight into women's health and the impetus to follow my passion: Women's Health and Wellness.

Being a mother of two (adult) children, a spouse, as well as a friend and a colleague, as many of us are– we often carry an extra burden and guilt between family and professional life; and face unique health issues that are sometimes overlooked by today’s healthcare system, understudied in research, and ignored by our doctors. As women, we may experience pregnancy, birth, miscarriage and menopause. We sustain deep heartache with life's ups and downs. As women we have experiences that affect us deeply and, in turn, those experiences affect our health and well-being.

It is from this vantage point that I seek to help women reach optimal wellness. At our roots, I am inspired by the power of food to heal, to bring people together and to make remarkable changes in one's health.

Join me for a conversation about food, about travel, about your health and wellness goals. I hold this space for you to feel empowered, to feel safe, to feel heard, and to feel respected.

I am currently seeing patients at Duke Integrative Medicine in Durham, North Carolina. Feel free to reach out me at [email protected] or my personal email [email protected]
