“Elevate your health! A whole-person approach to nutrition.”

My goal with Annie D. Nutrition & Wellness is to share the knowledge that I have gained over several years to empower people to live their healthiest lives and realize that it IS possible, and you can do it too.

I am passionate about all things nutrition and wellness, but I also really LOVE my occasional chocolate chip cookie, a slice of pizza, and red wine. I love fitness and exercise, and I love how I feel after pushing myself to the edge.

MY JOURNEY

For as long as I can remember, I was the child in my family with a “sensitive stomach.” My parents tell stories of feeding me goat milk-based formula as an infant because I could not tolerate the mainstream formula recommended at the time. Growing up, I was often plagued by digestive issues following meals. In high school, the volleyball team bus had to make an emergency stop just for me. When I was traveling across Spain in college, the bus had to make an emergency stop just for me! At a sorority formal function, the bus had to stop just for me.

Fast forward to my first job out of graduate school, now I had to interrupt my speech therapy sessions with children to run to the bathroom after lunch. My boss suggested that I see a holistic nutritionist. She was the first person to introduce me to “real, whole-food” eating. After a 3-month elimination diet, my stomach aches and mad rushes to the bathroom resolved; and I felt better than ever.

I am now a mom of 3 kids (Ellie, Luke, & Claire) and wife to Steven. I am motivated to nourish my family with the healthiest food possible, and I frequently get asked by my clients and friends, “what do you do and eat to stay fit and healthy”. I turned my passion into a business helping others get fit and healthy. I will help you target more than just eating conscientiously and making healthy choices. I will help you lower your stress level, sleep better, nurture yourself, and gain more energy.

The Annie D. philosophy is a whole-person approach to nutrition.
