Testimonials

"Grace is one the best nutritionists I know. Her experience with adolescents with eating disorders is unsurpassed. She has an ability to be both sympathetic and yet clear-headed about what is needed to help these youngsters. I give her my highest personal recommendation."

-Dr. James Lock, Director of Child and Adolescent Eating Disorder Program, Professor of Child Psychiatry and Pediatrics at Stanford University; Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University, CA

"Grace is amazing; she motivated our 14-year-old daughter to lose weight, and at the same time she also helped our 9-year-old son gain the weight he needed."

-LM, parent, Fremont, CA

"Our 16 year old daughter was very nervous and reluctant to see a nutritionist for help with her weight issues. As parents, we were concerned about her feelings and wanted the experience to be a positive one. Grace did a wonderful job of putting our daughter at ease and making her feel accepted and engaged. Our first visit was a great success!"

“I can honestly say I would not be healthy nor, most importantly, happy if I had never found this wonderful woman.  After battling an eating disorder since the age of 13, today at 20 years old, Grace’s wisdom, encouragement and understanding of what I am experiencing has allowed me to follow my dreams and live my life to its fullest potential.  Her passion and gift of helping others is evident from the moment you meet her, and only continues to grow as your relationship develops.  Grace is truly more than just “my nutritionist”—to me she is a source of inspiration, pure intelligence and a supportive friend.  Thank you Grace!” –KC, Stockton, CA

“My 6-year-old son is a picky eater with multiple food allergies. He was seen by many nutritionists who didn’t have much pediatric experiences. I am glad we found Grace. My son and we finally got all the help we desperately needed.”
