About Corrina

My name is Corrina. I have been a dietitian/nutritionist for over 20 years. I am also a certified diabetes specialist. I have worked in outpatient nutrition settings for most of my career, conducting one on one nutrition counseling and education. I’ve worked with people wanting to improve their health through weight loss, weight gain and weight stabilization. I've also counseled and treated people with disordered eating on best nutrition practices regarding their particular ailment. I spent many years working with people that have chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and blood pressure issues. I worked with several people with cancer, many who needed IV feedings and/or tube feedings. In this role, I worked closely with doctors and pharmacists. I have a very diverse background in medical nutrition therapy and have learned so much from each position. I love the ability to work one on one with individuals to address their particular nutrition concerns.

Approach to care

My approach to your care is individualized, based on what health and nutrition goals you are seeking to achieve. I believe that small changes lead to big outcomes, over time. I look forward to meeting with you to determine how, together, we can achieve your personal wellness goals. Your goals may change over our time together and I want you to feel comfortable sharing your feedback so we can pivot accordingly, if necessary. I’m here to support you, cheer on your wins and help you overcome obstacles and barriers. I’m compassionate and understanding and I want you to feel safe and comfortable with me as your nutrition provider. I believe we have to be honest with ourselves, as well as one another for this to work. That is one piece of wisdom I've acquired throughout my career and is one constant in an ever-changing world. I strongly believe that transparency, honesty and trust in one another is the way to your long-term nutrition goals and to create changes for you that will endure.

Your first session with Corrina

In the first session, I am eager to get to know you and what brought you to Nourish to seek out a nutritionist. In getting to know one another, we can collaboratively work toward achieving your health and wellness goals. We will start this journey in a place that is comfortable and realistic for you. We will work at a pace that is authentic to you and fits well into your life. We will set a couple of short-term goals in our first session, talk about how you plan to achieve these goals and plan for future appointments. I am so happy you chose me to work with, and I am eager to help you be the best version of yourself that you can be, and that all starts with proper nutrition and overall wellness.

Hobbies

In my down time, I love spending as much time as I can with my son. He never ceases to amaze me with his athleticism, especially on the football field. I also love time with my husband and value our time because he is such a hard worker, we often have limited "off" time together. My work best friend and loyal companion is my “old man” dog, Harvey Dent (we just call him Harvey though). He is 13 years old and I have had him since he was 4. He was given to me by a friend because in his younger years, he was a bit too feisty for her. I enjoy live concerts (professional and local musicians alike), live professional sporting events (especially football, hockey, baseball and basketball games), reading/learning, and spending time with extended family and close friends. Currently I am emersed in using the Masterclass app to expand my learning and hobbies. Podcasts and bingeing TV shows are my guilty pleasures when I need to unwind.
