Patient reviews
โBecause Christine is amazing. She's knowledgeable, patient and supportive! She never gives up on me and my health goals!โ
โAre you going to keep asking me each week why I give Christine a 10? I will keep writing the she is OUTSTANDING!! She plays an important role in my recovery. I would not have made it this far without her knowledge, support and challenging my thinking.โ
โAmazing progress and I'm more health conscious and feeling betterโ
About Christine
Hello! My name is Christine. I have over 30 years of professional experience in dietetics, primarily in the areas of eating disorders, disordered eating, emotional eating, weight loss/gain/stabilization, bariatric surgery, weight loss medications, and diabetes. I am a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) and have also earned a Certificate in Adult Weight Management from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. My passion lies in helping others make peace with food so they may finally enjoy a life free from food control, guilt, and shame.
Approach to care
I am committed to providing a supportive, solution-oriented, and empowering approach, meeting you wherever you are in your health journey. My goal is to help you transform your health and enhance your quality of life through personalized nutrition and lifestyle changes. I love bringing a sense of fun, humor, and warmth into my sessions as we peel back years of unsubstantiated nutrition โfactsโ and unrealistic body size โidealsโ together.
Your first session with Christine
During your first session, my goal is to get to know you better. I'll ask plenty of questions about your medical history, nutrition habits, and goals. Iโll also dig a little deeper to help uncover behaviors and thoughts you may not have noticed on your own. With a strong commitment to evidence-based practice, I work closely with my clients to create sustainable, realistic plans that fit their unique needs and goals. Thank you for considering me as your dietitianโI truly appreciate the opportunity to support you on your health journey and look forward to working together!
