Heal your nervous system’s hypervigilance around food & expand your diet.
The FAST Freedom Program provides a detailed roadmap for addressing your nervous system’s role in your food sensitivities and reintroducing food safely.
As a licensed provider of the FAST* Freedom Program I am thrilled to be able to walk with you on this journey.
*FAST stands for Food Avoidance and Sensitivity Trap
As we work together through the FAST Freedom Program, you not only get my experience and expertise as a registered dietitian, but I come to you as an empathetic healthcare provider who has had my own challenges with mysterious symptoms.
I know the toll that mounting food fears can take, as well as how challenging it can be to reintroduce foods that you’ve been eliminating. Working through the FAST Freedom Program with my professional guidance can help you to expand your diet.

FAQ
Do you see clients in-person or online?
Currently my practice is 100% virtual with all sessions being conducted via Telehealth.
However, I am exploring options for seeing clients in-person at some downtown Hayward, CA locations. If an in-person session is of interest to you, and downtown Hayward, CA is an accessible location, please let me know when you fill out your Get Started form and we’ll see what we can do.
Do you see clients outside of the San Francisco Bay Area?
While I am physically located in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area, my practice is currently 100% virtual, with all sessions done via Telehealth. Being a virtual practice does allow me the freedom to see clients outside of my own area and I can see anyone located within California as well as most other states within the United States.
Registration as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) is a national credential, however some states have a licensing requirement as well. If you live outside of California be sure to mention where you are located when you fill out the Get Started form, so I can confirm that I have met the licensing requirements for your state.
Do you take insurance?
Currently clients must pay out of pocket for each session.
If you find my session prices to be out of reach, please know that I offer sliding scale pricing upon request. Ask about it when you fill out the Get Started form.
Also, I am in the process of becoming in-network with a couple of major insurance companies. I will update this section once I am ready to start accepting insurance (hoping for early 2024).
Food and body mistrust, negative food experiences, and hypersensitivity can all play a role together in fostering a hypervigilant nervous system – leading to conditioned food sensitivities and the Food Avoidance & Sensitivity Trap (FAST).
The FAST Freedom™ Program is a professionally-guided self-reflection process.
In this program you will learn to:
- heal your hypervigilant nervous system
- ease your food fears
- expand your diet, safely
