Approach to care
The nutrition journey can be confusing and overwhelming, and I like to break it down and be the support system to help you meet your goals. I am also not the food police, and will never judge you for what you do or do not eat! I find it important to not take any foods completely away from our diet, but how to best nourish our bodies with a whole foods approach. I am a great listener and will meet you where you are at in your health journey. If you are interested in making a change, but don't know where to start I am here to work on this with you together.
Your first session with Carissa
Our first session is to learn all about you! I want to learn more about your medical history, nutrition habits and needs, what your likes and dislikes are, and how you like to learn. With this better understanding, we can begin to develop an individualized plan to help you reach your goals that are realistic short term, and sustainable for the long term.
