About Cynthia
Welcome to Nourish! My professional interest and experience include supporting individualized care across the lifespan all the while actively striving to learn and keep up to date with the best nutritional practices and research. I enjoy making cutting-edge and nuanced health information easy to understand and actionable. Human connection, research-backed interventions, and the ability to have a positive impact on others by helping them find ways to enjoy food while supporting their personal health goals are the primary reasons I have found a career in dietetics to be rewarding. If any of this resonates with you, I look forward to meeting and working with you!
Approach to care
My practice is focused on a collaborative, patient-centered approach to care. My goal is to address your individual needs with empathy and respect of your unique cultural considerations and dietary preferences. I will meet you where you are and guide you to make informed decisions appropriate for your lifestyle.
Your first session with Cynthia
During our first session we will get to know each other. I will ask many questions and also listen to your specific area(s) of concern. My goal is to make sure you feel comfortable and understood, all the while gaining skills you can take with you to reach your nutrition related goals.

Hobbies
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family, playing with my dogs, trying new foods, and traveling. As a lifelong and curious learner, I also enjoy reading and learning about the latest nutrition research so much that I consider that a hobby!
