Hi! I’m Robin.
I help people address the root causes of their health concerns.
I provide one-on-one nutrition counseling to clients across the United States by video chat or phone.
My specialties include digestion and gut health, autoimmune conditions, and what’s commonly referred to as “women’s health,” i.e. period problems, pelvic pain, hormone imbalances, fertility issues, PCOS, endometriosis, and more—though I work with clients of any gender.
I use evidence-based natural solutions and a holistic approach to create personalized nutrition and lifestyle plans tailored to each client’s unique goals and needs.
A truly holistic understanding of health and wellness not only recognizes and cultivates an individual’s capacity to heal, but also acknowledges the necessity of collective healing and liberation given the complex interplay between our environment and our physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. I’m committed to an anti-oppressive, anti-racist approach to health and wellness, and I strive to create an inclusive, trauma-informed practice.
What to expect as a client
What you WILL find here:
Respect for your lived experience and the fact that you’re the best expert when it comes to your own body
A nutrition counseling process that acknowledges your full humanity and the reality of your circumstances, whatever they may be, and meets you exactly where you are
A nonjudgmental approach that fosters progress through consent, education, and a supportive client-practitioner partnership that puts YOU in the driver’s seat of your wellness plan
Honesty, transparency, and open communication: you’ll understand the “why” behind all of my suggestions and be able to use that information to make the decision that’s best for you
An understanding of health and wholeness encompasses body, mind, and spirit
An approach that prioritizes support for your nervous system, so that you can start to feel more grounded and in touch with your body
What you WON’T find here:
Manipulation tactics that attempt to motivate change through shame, guilt, or judgment (because when did those ever work??)
Any insinuation that your health conditions are your fault (they’re absolutely not!)
Unrealistic expectations or pressure to get things perfect (most of us are already putting WAY too much pressure on ourselves)
A narrow, rigid, or cookie-cutter approach to health (this is not conducive to wellbeing, hard stop)
A belief your body is “broken” and needs to be fixed (I firmly believe we are whole just as we are, and that our bodies are resilient and amazing and simply doing the best that they can)
A philosophy that attaches morality to food (food isn’t good or bad, or right or wrong—it’s just food)
Help with weight loss (health comes in many sizes, and I’m much more interested in helping you with your health than with a meaningless number on a scale)
What is functional nutrition?
Functional nutrition tackles symptoms and diseases using the principles of functional medicine—an integrative model of care that recognizes the bio-individuality of each patient and aims to restore optimal function in the body by addressing the root causes of health conditions. In functional nutrition, the practitioner and the client work together as partners to support the body’s capacity to heal.

What clients have to say
"Working with Robin has been nothing short of life-changing. She was more knowledgeable about my endometriosis than my doctor, and worked with me to transform my diet and improve my quality of life in the face of my diagnosis.
In the six months I worked with her, my symptoms decreased dramatically and the quality of my sleep, energy, and overall feelings of well being increased. With her extensive knowledge, encouragement, and steady guidance, I became empowered to take ownership over my nutrition and health. She made sure that I never felt overwhelmed and was always available for questions and support. Thank you, Robin!"
—Briana P., Brooklyn, NY
"I am so lucky to have such an incredible nutritionist and health coach. Robin helped me regain my menstrual cycle after dealing with a year of amenorrhea post-pill. My husband and I would love to start a family and without her help this would seem almost impossible. If you are an athlete who's dealing with similar issues, Robin’s knowledge, guidance, and support will help your body come back to balance. She is the best!"
—Colleen M., Austin, TX
"Robin is a delightful, well-educated blessing. I came to her because I was having a lot of pain and digestive issues that I wanted resolved naturally. After working with Robin for a few months, I feel like my GI issues have finally been resolved, and in the process she helped me find healthy snacks, amazing recipes, and really effective supplements.
Thanks to Robin, I now have a better grasp of how my body works and how to properly care for it, as well as various natural digestive remedies up my sleeve for when I need them. She’s been a tremendous help and has changed the way I eat and how I feel in such a great way."
—Jane P., Charleston, SC
"Robin has a great, holistic approach to nutrition. She really takes the time to understand your specific issues and works closely with you, and listens to you, to help figure out solutions that will work for you.
I felt like I was trying to eat healthy (I'm a food writer and cook), but often found myself confused by the different things I read, and nothing seemed to be having the effect I was looking for. I constantly felt distracted, hungry, and bloated, and I really wanted talk to someone who could sort through all the competing dietary information out there and help me think more objectively about how I eat and cook.
Robin's analysis of my food habits (through my food diary) helped me to see how what I thought I was eating was different from what I was ACTUALLY eating.
After working with Robin, I feel healthier and stronger, and I’ve lost weight. My energy levels are much more stable and I hardly ever have cravings for junk food, something I really struggled with in the past."
—Rohan K., New York, NY
"I sought Robin’s help because I’d been having increased arthritis pain and was hoping to get some relief. After working with her, I’m much more mindful of what I eat. I gained a much better understanding of how gluten was affecting my body, and on a gluten-free diet, I experienced less stiffness, some decrease in pain, and even some weight loss—an added bonus!
Robin was very easy to work with, very relaxed, respectful, and knowledgeable. If she didn't know an answer to any of my questions, she had no qualms about researching to get the answer for me."
—Barbara S., Warrington, PA
"It's been amazing working with Robin. She’s able to clearly and concisely provide guidance on what might be ailing you, and she listens carefully to your issues and gives you gentle feedback and suggestions.
By making changes to my diet, I learned a lot about what foods my system can and can’t tolerate, and how to smooth out my blood sugar spikes and dips. Now I'm able to make more informed, healthier choices about my food. My digestion has improved, I’ve got more energy, and I’ve lost weight without even trying to.
If you feel like you may be sensitive to certain foods, if your energy levels aren’t stable, or if you just want to feel generally healthier, I recommend seeing Robin."
Mike J., New York, NY
