Hi I’m Ariel, a Licensed Nutritionist specializing in gut health!

My journey into nutrition began as a collegiate cross country runner. After months of summer training and many intense miles (400 to be exact!), I returned to campus expecting peak performance, but instead ended up exhausted, out of breath, and quite confused. I discovered I was iron deficient and realized my diet of chicken nuggets, peanut butter bagels, and granola bars just wasn’t cutting it to support my body’s needs. That experience changed everything and showed me just how powerful (and personal!) nutrition can be— transforming everything from mood to performance!

I went on to earn my Bachelor of Science in Biology from Eastern Connecticut State University, a Master of Science in Human Nutrition from the University of Bridgeport, and become licensed as a Certified Dietician Nutritionist in Connecticut (CDN). I am currently completing the requirements to become a Board Certified Nutrition Specialist (BCNS). After completing my undergraduate degree, and to support myself through graduate school, I worked as an analytical chemist in an environmental lab which helps me bring a unique, data-driven, science-based approach to personalized nutrition.

Why Gut Health

After struggling with my own gut health following antibiotic use, I became deeply interested in the power of the microbiome and functional stool testing. I realized that the gut is the epicenter of health—impacting everything from energy and immunity to mood and hormones. When your gut is out of balance, everything feels off.

My Mission

Today, I help clients heal their gut, rebalance their microbiome, and build resilient, vibrant health from the inside out through personalized protocols, nutrition strategies, and simple daily habits that lead to life changing results.
