Andrea always wanted a career working with people, helping them lead healthier lives. She decided to become a dietitian after taking a nutrition class. It was a natural fit – her love of good, healthy food and being active – she knew she could help others learn to make healthy choices, too.

Andrea earned a Bachelor of Science in Public Health Nutrition from UNC-Chapel Hill which gave her the technical knowledge she needed. When completing her Master’s Degree, she focused on adult education and counseling, to better enable her to teach and reach people.

These degrees, along with additional Certifications in Personal Training, Sports Nutrition, Wellness Coaching, and Certificates of Training in Adult and Childhood & Adolescent Weight Management, prepared her to reach clients where they are in their health journey. She continues to improve her skills, through continuing education and certifications, to help clients reach their goals and become their personal best.

Over the years, Andrea has helped hundreds of clients find healthy lifestyle choices that will work for them. Andrea works closely with her clients to find holistic, reasonable approaches and moderate, realistic changes that will assist them in achieving their goals. It is not a one-size-fits-all approach and there are no cookie cutter plans. Andrea meets each client where they are today on their pathway to a healthier lifestyle. From this starting point, they work together to develop a plan that is individualized and will work for them. The plan might need revisions or a new direction but it will always be individualized and customized for each client.
