Celiac Disease

A celiac diagnosis changes how you eat overnight, and it can feel like a lot to carry.

Going gluten-free is medically necessary, but it doesn’t have to take over your life. A diagnosis can bring a lot at once: learning to read labels, worrying about cross-contact, missing foods you love, and explaining your needs to friends and family. It’s normal to feel relief, grief, and overwhelm all at the same time. I’ll help you learn the essentials and build meals that are safe, satisfying, and nourishing, including the nutrients that can be harder to get enough of on a gluten-free diet. My focus is helping you feel confident eating gluten-free while keeping a peaceful relationship with food. Whether you were just diagnosed or have been gluten-free for years and still feel stuck, there’s room for you here.

I live with celiac disease myself, so I know both the practical and the emotional sides of this diagnosis.

Our work together might include:

  • Learning the essentials of a gluten-free diet, including label reading and cross-contact

  • Building balanced, satisfying meals that help fill common nutrient gaps

  • Feeling more confident eating out, traveling, and navigating social situations

  • Setting up a kitchen that works for a shared household

  • Finding a sense of ease with food again, so gluten-free feels like part of your life, not all of it

This might be for you if...

  • You were recently diagnosed and feel overwhelmed

  • You’re anxious about cross-contact when eating out, traveling, or at family gatherings

  • You’re worried this diagnosis will disrupt your relationship with food

  • You’re still having symptoms even though you’re eating gluten-free

  • You’re navigating a shared kitchen
