Approach to care
As your dietitian, I am committed to providing compassionate, non-judgmental care to all my clients. My approach is rooted in empathy and understanding, recognizing that each individual's journey towards better health is unique and personal. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make positive changes at their own pace.
Your first session with Alexandra
During an initial session, I always like to take some time to get to know my clients. This includes learning about your medical history, lifestyle, and specific health challenges and concerns. Getting insight into your personality also helps me better understand why you make the choices you do. This allows me to better tailor my recommendations to your needs. I will go over your goals and challenge areas and assess your readiness to change. We may set a few small goals together depending on whether we have time and what stage of change you are at.
