April Goss

About April

I am registered dietitian with experience in both the inpatient and outpatient setting providing counseling to a variety of patients from tube feeding to weight loss and managing chronic medical conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. I have a passion for meeting people where they are at to create positive change for their personalized goals - whether that be a few pounds of weight loss or lowering an A1C. When I'm not working at Nourish, I'm a full time mom of three under 4 and working part-time at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, AZ, therefore I understand the difficulties of balancing nutrition with a busy schedule!

Approach to care

My approach to care is about accountability as well as meeting clients where they are. Life is not always a straight line and neither is nutrition or behavioral change; some weeks will be full of victories, where others will remain on course and at times even take steps back. I believe in making small changes that eventually compile and lead to long-term goals being achieved. It is important to listen to a patient's goals and custom tailor an approach that is achievable. Finally, it is important to heal our relationship with food and realize all foods can fit!

Your first session with April

In your first session, you expect for us to get to know each other and begin to develop a professional relationship to help you achieve realistic nutrition related goals. We will discuss everything from medical and nutrition history to what your typically day to day looks like and anything in between you'd like to share - all factors impact our ability to make sustainable change.
