Approach to care

My approach to care is rooted in compassion, science, and a deep commitment to empowering individuals to achieve their health and wellness goals. As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with advanced degrees in Nutritional Science and Public Health, I blend evidence-based strategies with personalized guidance to create sustainable, transformative outcomes. My philosophy centers on understanding each client’s unique “big why”—the personal motivations driving their desire for better health—whether it’s feeling vibrant, boosting confidence, or managing chronic conditions like diabetes.

Your first session with Bernadette

During your first session with me, you can expect a warm, collaborative, and personalized experience designed to kickstart your journey toward better health and wellness. This 45-minute session is all about understanding you—your goals, lifestyle, and unique motivations for pursuing a healthier life. We’ll begin with a comprehensive discussion about your health history, current eating habits, preferences, and any specific challenges or conditions, such as managing diabetes or weight loss goals. I’ll ask about your “big why”—the personal reasons driving your commitment to change—to ensure our plan aligns with what matters most to you.
