About Crystal

Hi! I’m Crystal, a Registered Dietitian with 13 years of experience. I worked in a hospital for several years, gaining experience working on various units with patients having varying medical conditions. For the past 5 years, I have been working as a Telehealth Dietitian, working mostly with clients focused on weight loss. Sports Nutrition is an area of interest to me, and I have spent the past few years expanding my knowledge around this. I've had a life-long passion for nutrition, fitness and health. I enjoy sharing my passion and knowledge with others, helping them become the BEST version of themselves and teaching them how healthy lifestyle changes can really impact overall health. I believe that health is one of the most valuable assets a person can have, and a huge contributor to good health is nutrition. A little bit about me, I have always been a highly active person and have been an avid runner most of my life, completing several 5ks, 10k’s, half-marathons and marathons.

Approach to care

I don’t believe there is a “one-size fits-all” approach when it comes to nutrition and health. Every person is uniquely different. What works for some may not work for others. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and centered around using evidence-based guidelines. I will help you to build small, gradual lifestyle changes that are sustainable for you to help you reach your goals.

Your first session with Crystal

Our first session together is a “getting to know you” session. I will want to learn about your health history, as well as your eating and exercise habits, so together we can set goals and create a plan that is individualized and tailored to you. We can discuss things you have tried in the past, what worked, what didn’t and any challenges you may be facing. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable and supported by me and know there is absolutely no judgement! I became a dietitian because I wanted the chance to help others become the BEST version of themselves through nutrition and lifestyle changes. Together, we will develop a plan that fits your life and helps you to feel your BEST!
