About Geraldine
Hi, I'm Geraldine, I prefer to go by Betsy. I bring more than 15 years as a Registered Dietitian to our conversations about food, health, and everyday life. I earned my BS in Science from the University of Stevens Point, WI, and my Master's degree through the University of Wisconsin Stout. My professional journey includes clinical hospital work, renal dialysis and community health, and my postnominals MS, RDN, CDN reflect my commitment to evidence-based practice. Outside of work, you'll find me on a golf course, running, hiking, or enjoying morning walks. I believe nutrition should be practical, enjoyable, and tailored to each person's unique needs.
Approach to care
Care philosophy: I lead with science and heart. My approach is collaborative and patient focused, and I'll meet you wherever you are on your journey. We'll translate the latest evidence into practical steps, while staying flexible as your life changes. I value long term change over quick fixes, and I practice a weight-neutral, Health at Every Size oriented perspective that centers your health and well being, not a number on the scale. Education informs every conversation so you feel confident in your choices.
Your first session with Geraldine
What to expect in your first appointment: Our first session is all about you. We'll review your medical history, lab work, and biometrics, and together we'll establish short term goals and a plan that fits your life. You don't need to have it all figured out yet; I'll guide the conversation with curiosity and openness. We'll discuss your eating habits, routines, and what you hope to accomplish, in a warm, nonjudgmental space. By the end you'll leave with clear next steps and a sense of what comes next.
