About Haesun

Hi, I'm Haesun. I'm a Registered Dietitian with 31 years of experience, holding an MS in Nutritional Science from Tufts University and a BS in Nutritional Science from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I’ve supported clients in private practice and in clinical and hospital settings, blending science with a warm, person-centered approach. Outside of work, I enjoy practicing and teaching yoga, sewing, cooking authentic Korean food and baking whole grain bread and low fat desserts. These activities are how I fit small and joyful habits into a healthy lifestyle. I’m passionate about helping people improve their health through good nutrition and an active life, one kind conversation at a time.

Approach to care

I practice with an evidence-based, empathetic and collaborative mindset. I stay grounded in current science and tailor plans to you, not a chart. We’ll work toward lasting change through a Health At Every Size, weight neutral lens that honors your values and your lived experience. My goal is to educate and empower you, translating complex information into practical steps. We’ll focus on sustainable habits, holistic health, and daily actions that feel doable, no judgment or shame.

Your first session with Haesun

Our first appointment is a conversation about you. We'll review your medical history, take a deep dive into your relationship with food, and establish short-term goals. We’ll create a starter meal plan and review lab work and biometrics if available. No need to have it all figured out before you come; this is a judgment-free, low-pressure space designed to help us build a practical plan together. By the end, you’ll have a few clear steps to start with and a sense of our path forward.
