Approach to care

Nutrition is not 'one size fits all'. As such, I have a multi-focal approach to care. It is client focused assuring that their nutrition plan is individualized to their needs and preferences. My approach is evidence based so that clients have a greater understanding of current nutrition research. Mindfulness and intuitive eating strategies are practiced and encouraged.

Your first session with Courtney

I would like to get to know you and want you to be comfortable with me. In our first session, I want to learn a lot about you- your health and wellness concerns, your food and physical activity preferences, and even your favorite hobbies. This time is well spent as it forms the foundation of all goal setting in future sessions together. By sharing your nutrition and medical history, we are better able to develop a plan that meets your personal health objectives.
