April Moss

About April

I have been working as dietitian for over 15 years in a variety of settings. I have worked in grocery stores conducting cooking demos, group classes, and nutrition focused grocery store tours; I have also worked in the in-patient hospital setting as well as in outpatient doctors office. I have worked with patients on a variety of health concerns including reducing risk for cardiac disease, diabetes management, weight loss, management of nutrition impact symptoms, enteral nutrition management, reducing cancer risk, and more.

Approach to care

I focus on you and where you are on day one. My goal is to keep nutrition simple, realistic, and enjoyable. To help you achieve your goal, it is important to have the right "tools"; this can include increasing your knowledge base, meal planning/ grocery lists, samples menus, and even food journaling. I will use motivational interviewing and intuitive eating techniques so together we can learn your why behind your behaviors that impact your dietary choices.

Your first session with April

During the first session we will spend some time getting to know each other, including what your "why" is- this is important to establish to keep you motivated on your journey. We will review your past and present dietary habits, challenges and successes. A 24 hour dietary recall will help to give me an idea of where we are starting. We will then work together to develop small achievable steps that align with your goal. Before the end of the session, you will have a clear understanding of what to work on before our next session, how to reach me if you have questions, and we will set up our future appointment(s) to keep you on track.
