Optimal Health Nutrition Counseling

08/23/2021

After a wonderful six years with Optimal Health Nutrition Counseling (and Capital Women's Care), I would like to announce that I am moving on to other opportunities as of August 31st, 2021.

I am grateful for the opportunity to provide nutrition counseling to the community for the past six years and truly value the relationships I've built with my patients over that time.

For those in need of help with disordered eating, intuitive eating, and eating disorders I will be seeing patients at Hometown Healing in Hedgesville, WV. You may view these services at www.hometownhealing.team.

For other health concerns, your health insurance website can provide a list of other dietitians within their network.

I wish everyone the best of luck and a healthy and happy future!
