Allison emphasizes a non-diet approach and a focus on mindful eating to help her patients reach and sustain positive health changes. She helps individuals change their relationship with food and reach their wellness goals by matching them with the right tools for success. Working with Allison means viewing nutrition counseling through the lens of progress, and not perfection.
