About Ciara

Hi! I’m Ciara, a Registered Dietitian with nearly 10 years of healthcare experience, dedicated to helping individuals improve their health through personalized nutrition. I currently work in a hospital setting, where I provide nutrition care and counseling to patients in the cardiac and oncology units. In addition to my work in cancer and heart health, I also have experience in diabetes management, weight management, and plant-based nutrition. I’m passionate about helping people make informed, realistic changes that support their overall well-being and fit seamlessly into their everyday lives!

Approach to care

My approach is rooted in collaboration and compassion. I believe meaningful change happens when we work together to find realistic, sustainable strategies that align with your goals, preferences, and daily life. Whether you’re looking to manage a medical condition, transition to a more plant-forward diet, or simply feel more confident in your food choices, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward with confidence and clarity.

Your first session with Ciara

Our first session will focus on getting to know you—your health history, current habits, personal goals, and what you hope to achieve through nutrition counseling. I’ll take the time to listen and understand your lifestyle, preferences, and challenges so we can create a plan that feels realistic and sustainable for you. We’ll take time to talk through your nutrition journey up until this point—what’s worked well for you, what’s been challenging, and how your relationship with food has evolved over time. From there, I’ll help you identify simple, achievable steps you can start implementing right away. My goal is to make sure you leave your first appointment feeling supported, encouraged, and confident about your next steps. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clear idea of your personalized nutrition plan and how we’ll work together in follow-up visits to monitor your progress, adjust as needed, and celebrate your successes along the way.
