ABOUT BRANDI
A Registered
Dietitian Nutritionist
I’m excited to work with you on your health and wellness journey.​​
I bring a wealth of education, experience and dedication to counseling clients. My experience as a personal trainer and massage therapist adds a unique perspective to your nutrition journey; I understand that physical activity and muscle wellness are intertwined to create a healthier you.
I’ve always loved helping others achieve their best health.
I founded A Stronger Tomorrow in 2000 to share my passion and expertise with others.


My clients and I will always have something in common: a desire to be healthier every day. That desire requires both a personal and practical understanding of what health looks and feels like for each person.
Sometimes it means a focus on diet and exercise or prevention. Sometimes it means zeroing in on weight loss. Whatever your goals and concerns, I will help you manage your path to wellness.
More about me
​In addition to my private practice, I am a dietitian in a clinical research study on weight loss with Monroe Biomedical Research, examining GLP-1 weight-loss drugs—commonly known as brand names Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy. I believe that understanding the power of these drugs is an important extension of my work with weight-loss clients.
I believe in lifelong learning when it comes to health and wellness. I have a master's degree in Nutrition Science from N.C. Central University. I am a graduate of the Dietetic Internship Program at NCCU and a licensed Registered Dietitian Nutritionist in North Carolina.
I also have a bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Exercise and Sport Science. While at UNC, I obtained a personal trainer certification with the National Academy of Sports Medicine. I held my certification for over 20 years. Previously, I worked as an educator and dietitian at Cisco Systems in their corporate wellness program and at Structure House, a residential weight loss facility. 
​

​
I completed the massage therapy program at the Body Therapy Institute in Siler City, N.C., and am also a licensed massage therapist in North Carolina.
​
​
While Durham, NC is my home, I’m a Maryland native. I enjoy the outdoors and spending time with my family—my husband, Jojo, our two children, and our two dogs, Riddle and Maggie. In my spare time, I enjoy weight training, hiking, biking, pickleball, camping and just staying active.
