About Catherine
Iām a Registered Dietitian (RD) with 20 years experience and a Board Certified Specialist in Obesity and Weight Management. If you have a diagnosis of diabetes, prediabetes, or gestational diabetes, Iām also a Lifestyle Coach for the Diabetes Prevention Program. I love chatting about the Diabetes Plate Design! If your goal is to learn more about prenatal nutrition, Iāve spent the past decade working with a grant funded preconception/pre-natal research study at a prestigious university health system. Iām also a busy working mom so I understand that sometimes other people and life events take priority over our own health. **Currently only offering Tuesdays 8am to 3pm EST and every other Saturday morning**
Approach to care
There isnāt a āone size fits allā approach to care. What works for one person might not work for the next, so I really strive to tailor a plan to meet YOUR needs. Weāll chat about goal setting but I promise that youāll never have a laundry list of to-doās! YOU are in the driversā seat- Iām your supportive copilot. In addition to brainstorming challenges in your environment, I encourage patients to share their āwinsā with me. Iāll be your #1 cheerleader, rock to lean on, and source of evidenced-based nutrition guidelines. So honored that youād consider taking me along your journey!
Your first session with Catherine
Building trust and establishing a comfortable environment is my priority during our first session. Getting to know someone takes time therefore, scheduling regular follow-up appointments is important. At each visit, we will continue to paint a picture of your life, such as your eating & exercise habits, sleep routine, medical history, use of dietary supplements, and most important- your personal goals. Remember: Rome wasnāt built in a day! If you ask patients who work with me, they describe me as empathic, non-judgmental, and caring. My focus is always on patient centered care. Letās get to know each other!
