Our Plant-Based Certified Nutritionist

Joanne is a registered dietitian/Nutritionist, Certified LEAP Therapist, Certified Nutrition Coach, Certified Plant Based Chef and Ornish trained dietitian, specializing in food sensitivities, cardiac nutrition, holistic nutrition, and lifestyle medicine.

Joanne has more than 20 years of experience as a nutrition educator working in both the clinical setting and the wellness field, striving to help people improve their physical and emotional well-being through nutrition and lifestyle.

Joanne’s own frustration with healthcare, inspired her interest in nutrition.

Her experience and training to facilitate the Ornish Lifestyle Medicine Program, and her desire to collaborate with other professionals who share the same “food as medicine” philosophy, led her to Ethos Primary Care.

Joanne enjoys representing and promoting a whole food, plant-based diet, and lifestyle. She loves to create recipes and healthy meals. She is eager to assist with dietary changes for reversal, prevention, weight control and chronic disease management.

In her free time, she loves spending time with her husband, family and pets. She also enjoys working in her garden, practicing Qi Gong, and enjoying the great outdoors. Most of the time, she is in the kitchen cooking up some new recipes and exploring new ideas for healthy living.
