About Grace
Hello! My name is Grace and I am so excited to meet you. I am a Registered Dietitian (RD) and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) currently residing in St. Louis, MO. I am passionate about all things nutrition! I specialize in working with pregnant, prenatal, and postpartum moms who have diabetes. However, I am knowledgable and confident in many other areas such as all types of diabetes, weight loss, women's health and general nutrition care. Nutrition plays a huge role in our overall health at all points in the lifecycle. I enjoy getting to work with patients in all stages of life and nutrition knowledge. I look forward to working together!
Approach to care
I am all about patient-centered care. You are the expert on your own life! I want to find ways to help you achieve your best, balanced, and healthiest self. This includes providing nutrition education, creating meal plans, and/or setting achievable benchmarks along the way. We are a team in getting you to where you want to go. Let's work together towards your goals!
Your first session with Grace
Our first session is all about you! We'll cover your general medical history, lifestyle habits, diet, and challenges. This will help me get to know you and your unique needs. We'll also dive into your goals and motivations to give us a direction to head in. From there, we can start planning your next steps until we touch base again at your next session. Don't feel like you need to prepare anything before your first session! If you would like, feel free to bring any test results, meal logs, or any other information you would like to share.
