About Brooke

Hi, I’m Brooke! I’m a Registered Dietitian who’s passionate about helping people feel their best through the power of food. My background includes renal health, weight management, diabetes, and chronic disease care, but what drives me most is my belief that food is truly medicine—shaping how we feel, heal, and thrive. That belief inspired me to pursue a career where I could guide others in finding joy, confidence, and balance in the way they nourish their bodies and minds. At the core of my work is a simple goal: to make healthy eating approachable, empowering, and genuinely enjoyable for everyone I have the privilege to work with.

Approach to care

I believe good nutrition care starts with listening. Everyone’s journey is unique, and my goal is to meet you where you are. I take time to learn about your lifestyle, cultural background, and personal goals before creating a plan that truly fits your life. My focus is on realistic changes and practical tools that you can use every day. Together, we’ll build a plan that fits your lifestyle—not the other way around. I focus on making changes that feel realistic, sustainable, and even enjoyable. I want you to feel encouraged, understood, and confident as we work toward your health goals, and I’ll be there to celebrate the wins—big and small—along the way.

Your first session with Brooke

In our first session, I’ll take time to get to know YOU. We’ll start with a conversation about your story——your health history, current concerns, diet, lifestyle, goals, what’s been working, what feels challenging and most importantly your unique needs. From there, we’ll work together to set realistic goals and build a personalized care plan that works for you and focuses on helping you feel your best. My goal is for you to leave our first visit feeling supported, informed, and confident about your next steps.
