About Carolyn

Hi! I'm a registered dietitian with 20 years of experience helping people improve their health and feel their best. Over the years, I have worked in many areas of nutrition - from women's pre and postnatal care, infant and child nutrition, critical care and healthy aging, to weight management, GLP-1 medications and bariatric surgery. Beyond my professional training, I also know what it is like to struggle with nutrition and weight personally. As someone who has had bariatric surgery myself, I understand the ups, downs and everyday realities of trying to make lasting changes. My own struggles are what lead me to this field and why I am so passionate about supporting others on their own journeys.

Approach to care

My approach is simple: nutrition should fit your life, not the other way around. I believe in creating sustainable and realistic strategies to help people reach their goals while improving overall health and quality of life. My goal is to meet people where they are, offer practical guidance, and cheer them on every step of the way. I enjoy building relationships with my patients and providing individualized nutrition care versus a "one-size-fits-all" approach.

Your first session with Carolyn

Your first session with me is all about getting to know you. We'll take the time to talk through your health goals, medical history, lifestyle, and eating habits so I can understand the full picture. I’ll ask about what has worked for you in the past, what hasn’t, and what you hope to learn and achieve through working with a dietitian. We’ll explore your food preferences, likes and dislikes, and what's truly important to you when it comes to nutrition and wellness. This helps us build a foundation of trust and ensures that any goals we set together are both realistic and sustainable. By the end of the session, you'll have a clearer sense of how we can work together to support your long-term health and well-being.
