Testimonials

"Today I am 10 weeks postpartum and have the healthiest, happiest little boy. Better yet, I am my healthiest, happiest self in a very long time."
Working with Carey has been a life-changing experience. I entered my IVF/pregnancy journey searching for support/guidance on my nutrition to keep myself and baby healthy but ended up getting so much more from her. As someone who previously struggled with an eating disorder, I was unknowingly in need of not just nutrition guidance, but care and emotional support to navigate me through. Carey provided me with a safe space to overcome my diet/eating issues, heal my gut/digestion, and create a healthy path for my pregnancy and beyond.
Carey was completely accessible for questions/aid outside of our regular meetings and offered me answers, facts and direction that I was otherwise unable to ascertain from my doctors. She has a world of knowledge on nutrition, but what I’ve found even more impressive, is her willingness to research and dig for answers that she didn’t already have. Her devotion to her clients is impeccable. She truly kept me sane, helping me to navigate all of the over abundance of pregnancy & health myths, rumors, etc.
Today I am 10 weeks postpartum and have the healthiest, happiest little boy. Better yet, I am my healthiest, happiest self in a very long time.
Couldn’t recommend her more!NR

"At this point, I feel highly confident in how I am nourishing my body in a sustainable way for pregnancy and beyond."
I have had the pleasure of working with Carey over the last six months and could not recommend her more. I started working with Carey with the intention of optimizing my diet prior to pregnancy. I have 100% been able to do that, but I also expanded my horizons so much more than I expected, with Carey’s help. Coming from a more restrictive eating mindset with a lot of fear foods, I’ve been able to improve the overall nutrient density of my diet, and most importantly gain trust in my ability to intuitively nourish my own body. I know which foods work best for my body, and at the same time I am no longer afraid of any specific foods. This has been incredibly positive for me and has opened me up to so much more joy and ease in my life.
When we first started working together, Carey ordered comprehensive nutrient testing for me. This was incredibly empowering for me because it gave me a lot more confidence in my eating patterns and let me know exactly where small adjustments were indicated. At this point, I feel highly confident in how I am nourishing my body in a sustainable way for pregnancy and beyond. AND I feel more free and less stressed out about food.
On a personal level, Carey’s demeanor is incredibly supportive, non-judgmental, light hearted, and kind. She is such a lovely and down to earth person and I really enjoyed our conversations. I felt that she always took my personal considerations into account and tailored all of her recommendations to meet MY specific lifestyle and preferences. She never made me feel like I’d have to compromise any aspect of myself in order to improve my diet.
If you are thinking about working with a specialist to improve any aspect of your nutrition and/or your relationship with food, especially in the context of pregnancy, I highly recommend Carey!!MH

"I even feel empowered to make good choices post partum and overall have a better toolbox on making healthy decisions to meet my nutritional needs."
Carey was so helpful to work with during my pregnancy! I was really struggling with food aversions and getting adequate nutrition and Carey was able to address my concerns so that I had a well rounded, nutritious and healthy food strategy for my pregnancy. Carey was very responsive and was a wealth of information regarding prenatal nutrition, vitamins, and answers to all of my questions. Her one on one coaching was so helpful for me to ask questions and make informed choices. I was able to have a healthy pregnancy where I felt great and like I was making the best choices for my baby. I even feel empowered to make good choices post partum and overall have a better toolbox on making healthy decisions to meet my nutritional needs. Working with a prenatal nutritionist was easily one of the best decisions I made in pregnancy, and Carrey was the best person for the job!

"She helped me feel like managing my own nutrition and self care was possible even in a hard season."
Carey helped me navigate some nutrition challenges I faced as a tired first time mom with a dairy free baby. She was empathetic, caring, and a great listener. As a mom herself you could really tell she understood the challenges of postpartum motherhood and I felt like I had a great cheerleader on my side. She helped me feel like managing my own nutrition and self care was possible even in a hard season. Thank you Carey!!

"I strongly recommend her to any woman who is looking to make realistic and sustainable changes to her health and diet.”
“Carey is amazing and has helped change my health for the better. I came to her with a mix of needs including arthritis, perimenopause, high blood pressure, and unusual food allergies. Through our conversations and Carey's initiative to research my personal needs, we were able to collaborate and work on healthy living and eating choices that worked for me. She is easy to talk with, listens and provides insight that makes sense. I strongly recommend her to any woman who is looking to make realistic and sustainable changes to her health and diet.”
