About Desiree
As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I am passionate about helping individuals develop a healthier relationship with food and create lasting, sustainable habits. My goal is to provide guidance that is both practical and personalized, empowering clients to feel confident in their nutrition choices. Outside of my work, I find joy in ballroom dancing, spending time with my family, and embracing the small moments that bring gratitude. As a triplet, a wife, and a dog lover, I deeply value connection, balance, and a holistic approach to well-beingāprinciples that guide both my personal and professional life.
Approach to care
I believe that nutrition care should be personalized, compassionate, and collaborative. Every individual has unique needs, goals, and challenges, and my approach centers on creating realistic, sustainable habits that support long-term well-being. Rather than prescribing one-size-fits-all solutions, I work alongside my clients as a teamālistening, guiding, and empowering them to make informed choices that fit their lifestyle, ultimately helping them develop a positive relationship with food and achieve their health goals.
Your first session with Desiree
Your first session is all about getting to know you! Weāll discuss your health history, lifestyle, eating habits, and personal goals to create a nutrition plan tailored to your needs. Iāll take the time to listen to your concerns, answer any questions, and provide guidance in a supportive, judgment-free environment. Together, weāll develop realistic, sustainable strategies that fit your lifestyle. By the end of the session, youāll leave with a clear action plan and the confidence to start making meaningful changes.
