Meet Libbi!

If you asked me in high school what I wanted to do with my life, I would have told you—without hesitation—that nutrition was the answer. At first, I signed up for a sports nutrition class simply to help myself as an athlete. But that class opened the door to something much bigger: a lifelong passion for helping people heal through food.

My journey started in sports nutrition at Texas A&M, supporting athletes as they learned how to fuel for performance. From there, my curiosity pushed me deeper into how nutrition shapes the brain, memory, and long-term health. After losing my grandfather to complications of type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s, I became determined to understand the connection between food, metabolism, and the mind.

That determination carried me into years of unique experiences—studying nutrigenomics, training in cognitive health, and working in critical care during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. I eventually became a Certified Nutrition Support Clinician (CNSC), specializing in both enteral nutrition and IV nutrition (TPN). My work in the NICU, amidst some of the most fragile patients, was especially meaningful. Supporting premature infants and their families taught me that nutrition isn’t just about survival—it’s about hope, growth, and giving each child the best possible start.

In those moments—whether adjusting a newborn’s feeds in the NICU or stabilizing an adult in the ICU—I witnessed something profound: food as literal medicine, sustaining life when nothing else could.

Through all of this, I kept coming back to the same truth: food is never just about nutrients. It’s about identity, trust, and connection. That’s why my focus has shifted to eating disorder care and why I’m so grateful to now be part of the team at Positive Nutrition.

Here, I have the privilege of walking alongside people as they rebuild their relationship with food—whether it’s an athlete working through injury, someone navigating the ups and downs of recovery, or a person with complex medical needs who feels caught between food as fuel and food as fear.

I understand the heartbreak of setbacks. As an athlete myself, I tore my ACL and had to navigate the long road back—learning firsthand that nutrition isn’t just about performance, it’s about resilience and identity, too.

My hope is that clients who work with me feel both supported and empowered. Whether it’s adjusting tube feeds for a newborn in the NICU, supporting an adult in recovery, or helping someone rediscover joy at the table, I bring equal parts science and compassion. Because no matter how food comes into your body, it has the power to help you heal.

If you’re reading this and struggling with food—whether that means under-fueling, overthinking, or simply feeling disconnected from your body—please know you’re not alone. Healing is possible, and I would be honored to walk that path with you.

At Positive Nutrition, I’m here to help you rebuild trust in food, reconnect with your body, and rediscover the courage to live fully. Schedule a consult so we can get started on this work together.
