About Noelle

Noelle has always had a passion for cooking and food. Upon completing highscool she went to Kendall College in Chicago to pursue an education in Culinary Arts. After completing a two-year certificate program in Personal Chef and Catering Noelle opened her own Private Chef and Catering Business. She always loved science and came across clients with specific health needs which inspired her to go back to school to become a Registered Dietitian. Noelle graduated with her bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from Dominican University in River Forest IL. She wanted to expand her knowledge in the field of functional and holistic nutrition, so she continued her studies through the Integrative and Functional Nutrition Academy to become an Integrative and Functional Nutrition Certified Practitioner.

Noelle’s practice specializes in integrative and functional nutrition where she focuses on educating clients on consuming a whole foods diet that is balanced and fits their specific lifestyles. Noelle strongly believes that food and nutrition is the core of Functional Medicine, which addresses the patient as a whole person, not just an isolated set of systems. Nutrition is all about finding the right way for each patient as individuals to eat by using food to maximize the potential for health and reverse dysfunction and disease. There is no single “right diet” that works for us all. Noelle educates patients on health topics including but not limited to weight loss, hormone balancing, GI health, thyroid health, and autoimmune disease.
