Eating to improve your digestive health.
Welcome to Blue Tree Nutrition!
I help people with digestive distress overcome their symptoms, so they can regain control of their life.
My goal is to determine which nutrition path is best based on your diagnosis and symptoms. I see individuals with a variety of gastrointestinal and autoimmune issues. For many, the problem begins in the gut. The education will be very individualized, and based on the most up to date nutrition information.
Education is provided on a wide range of gastrointestinal and autoimmune disorders such as:
– Celiac Disease
– Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
– Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s/Colitis)
– Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
– Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency
– Breast Implant Illness
– Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
– Lyme Disease
– Diabetes
Specializing in the FODMAP
elimination diet.
Please contact me to discuss your specific situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn How it Works!
What is included in an initial consultation?
What should I expect from a follow-up appointment?
Your follow-up appointment can be what you chose. We can meet and go over questions that have come up since the initial consultation, and evaluate how well you have been doing. You can also use the follow-up appointment to meet at the grocery store of your choice to take a tour with the dietitian.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, Blue Tree Nutrition is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna and Medicare. If you do not have any of the above as your insurance provider, Blue Tree Nutrition, LLC works as a fee-for-service provider. However, if your insurance company provides coverage/reimbursement for nutrition counseling by out-of-network dietitians, we will provide you with a Superbill with the necessary codes to submit to your insurance company as proof of service and payment. Your insurance company may then reimburse you directly for all or part of the services paid. Contact your insurance company for details on reimbursement.
