About Char
Hi, I’m Char. I’m a Registered Dietitian with 40 years of experience, and I earned my BS in Dietetics from Bowling Green State University. My career spans clinical and hospital settings as well as community health, and I work with people at many stages of life. I hold credentials including CDCES, LD, and RD, which help me guide nutrition and chronic condition management with care. When I’m not seeing patients, you’ll find me hiking out west, walking, biking a bit, or enjoying needlework and cards with friends. I’m here to help you reach your goals through good nutrition.
Approach to care
My care philosophy is collaborative, evidence-based, and human centered. I blend current science with warmth to support lasting change. We focus on practical steps you can sustain, with a weight-neutral approach that emphasizes behavior and wellbeing over quick fixes. I aim to educate so you understand the why behind each plan, while we tailor recommendations to your life, values, and preferences. Together we build a holistic path that respects sleep, stress, and mental wellness as part of nutrition.
Your first session with Char
Our first appointment is a warm, nonjudgmental conversation about you. We'll start by reviewing your medical history, current lab work or biometrics, medications that may affect nutrition, and your goals. Together we’ll set one to two realistic short term goals and begin outlining a meal plan that fits your routine, tastes, and budget. You don’t need to have everything figured out yet; we’ll adjust as we learn what works for you. I’m here to support and guide you every step.
