About Erika

Hello! My name is Erika, welcome to my Nourish page! A little about me, I am passionate about many areas of nutrition, but particularly in reshaping the mindset and views of the role of food in every day life. We don't categorize foods as "bad" or "good" around here. The term "healthy" is subjective, and there is no one right definition that fits all people and cultures. Body sizes and BMIs are not good indicators of health, so let's focus on the right plan for you because there is no one else like you! I am currently an experienced pediatric dietitian, which I love! I have worked with kids with GI conditions, autism, poor growth, weight management, tube fed, and medically complex kids who may have many medical conditions (cerebral palsy, heart conditions, muscular dystrophy, etc.). Pediatric nutrition is my specialty, but all are welcome here. Welcome to your nutrition journey!

Approach to care

We will focus on body neutrality and intuition, but also will be practical, realistic, and evidenced-based. You will always receive compassionate and patient-centered care. There will be no diet culture and no judgement in this space. The main goal is to create goals that are achievable, not setting yourself up for failure.

Your first session with Erika

The first session is all about getting to know you and your relationship with food. What are your eating habits and patterns? How does food currently make you feel? What are your goals and are they realistic? We will take a deep dive into these questions and more.
