Together, we can do hard things. You don’t need to navigate this journey alone. Let me support you on your journey so you can feel empowered and confident that not only will you lose weight, but you will keep it off long term. You deserve to be supported.
Weight loss surgery is hard
To start off by answering your first question YES! I am a registered dietitian AND I’ve had weight loss surgery myself! Trust me when I say I get it. I get how hard this journey is. I truly understand the struggle first hand. I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life, and finally, in 2017, I decided if I really wanted to become the healthiest and happiest version of myself, then I needed another tool. Dec. 19, 2017, I decided to have the vertical sleeve gastrectomy. Since then I’ve lost over 112bs.
Now, I help other bariatric babes change their habits so they can be successful long term. I can support you in not just losing weight but keeping it off for good!
Not all bariatric patients have the credentials to help other people. Not all dietitians have the experiences that bariatric patients have. I have the unique ability to understand EXACTLY what my clients are going through because I've been there too! Not only do I have the professional ability to support you, but I also have had to learn how to navigate this journey first hand.

what others are saying
4 Years Post Op RNY
"I’m 7lbs down since working with Jamie and I’ve learned how to incorporate exercise more and finished a “couch to 5K” program! Jamie even helped me and my fiance learn to eat at restaurants without shame and frustration. The support I received was the most positive part about working on my nutrition journey... I didn’t just feel like a patient like I did with my bariatric surgeon’s program with the dietitian there. I love that her program was completely customizable to me.”
5 Years Post VSG, T.R.I.B.E.™ Member & Leader
“The mindfulness techniques I learned through Jamie's programs truthfully saved my sanity. They helped me break my unhealthy habits, stop comparing myself to others, practice better self-care, and helped me manage my extreme anxiety. Using these mindfulness techniques, combined with following her Bariatric Breakthrough Meal Plate Method, helped me lose 30 lbs of regain without having to diet or track anything. I'm proud to say I've maintained that 30lbs of regain I lost for almost 2 years now.”
3.5 years Post Op VSG
“Jamie has been a miracle worker. My anxiety with food is totally gone. I’m an emotional binge eater, but through working with Jamie I’ve been able to take the power away from food. I started the program with snacks because I needed help with that first, then went into meal prep help. I never thought I’d be in a place where I ever trusted myself. I learned coping mechanisms and that there are no “good” or “bad” foods. Such a great experience. I feel so grateful and blessed!”
3 Years Post Op RNY, T.R.I.B.E.™ Member & Leader
“The reason I chose the T.R.I.B.E is for the support at my stage of the journey is that at 3 years post op I needed more than just a yearly visit with my Bariatric Surgeon. I needed people who had seen struggles and overcame them. I wanted a community where everyone understood the journey and process. What I got was a huge supportive family that I could lean into and learn from. Family that supports you when you need it. Family that’s not afraid to give you tough love when you need it.”
2 Months Post Op VSG
“If you are thinking about joining the TRIBE, do it! I joined a little over 6 months pre-op VSG surgery and I learned so much that prepared me for the transition to life after weight loss surgery. The community is unmatched and puts a bunch of cheerleaders in your corner and the resources are incredible. I am always learning and feeling supported. Plus, Jamie is like having a dietitian that is your big sister; she lets you know your feelings are valid and supports you, but then challenges you to be your best.”
Perfect example for non-bariatric clients!
“Her nutrition approach is life-changing. I’m not the same person I was 3 months ago. I have increased confidence, I even went on a date for the first time in a long time. Jamie’s approach in nutrition is very considerate of non-bariatric clients and she made the program applicable to me even though I’m not a bariatric client. I’m almost 50lbs down so I achieved weight loss goals, I learned how to cook, now I even run for fun. I view myself completely different & more positively than when I first started."
