About Carmen
Hi! I'm Carmen, a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist who is dedicated to help you do away with the diet culture mentality and bring back the joy in eating. I individualize my care and guide my clients towards taking back control and developing a healthier relationship with food. I combine my knowledge with empathy and compassion to provide you with the practical tools and information to improve your long-term physical and mental well-being. I have advanced training in behavioral change and counseling methods related to eating. I am a mom of three children and I am able to provide empathy, compassion and experience relating to balancing health and parenthood!
Approach to care
As a Registered Dietitian with 11 years of experience, my goal is to always listen, empathize and provide individualized and practical tools to help you with your health and lifestyle. I want to make sure my clients always feel that they're in a safe and compassionate space to discuss all things nutrition and health. I follow a gentle nutrition approach and provide an individualized plan for specific medical conditions and overall health management.
Your first session with Carmen
Your initial nutrition appointment is an assessment where I will ask in depth questions around your health goals, what you want to achieve together and why it’s important to you. We will talk about what you’ve tried in the past and what are the current challenges that you’re experiencing. We will discuss what your lifestyle is like and what type of plan you think is most effective for you. We will end with a few action items to work on before your follow up visit.
