About Helen
I am a registered dietitian with over 25 years of experience in the field of nutrition. Throughout my career, I have worked with patients of all age ranges in diverse settings, including hospitals, long-term care facilities, and as a consultant. With a passion for promoting healthy eating habits and improving patient outcomes, I bring a wealth of expertise in wellness and clinical nutrition.
Approach to care
With over 25 years of experience as a dietitian, my approach to nutrition counseling and assessment is centered on individualized, evidence-based strategies that respect each client's unique needs, preferences, and lifestyle. I believe in building a trusting relationship with my clients, ensuring they feel heard and supported throughout the process.
Your first session with Helen
In our first session, I will take a holistic view of a person's health, considering not only their dietary habits but also their medical history, lifestyle, and emotional relationship with food. By gathering comprehensive information, I can develop personalized nutrition plans that are not only achievable but sustainable. I strive to empower my clients with knowledge, helping them understand the role of nutrition in their overall well-being. It is very important to me that my clients feel that the nutrition goals we create are adaptable to real-life situations, guiding clients toward lasting positive changes. My goal is to motivate and inspire individuals to make informed, healthy choices that align with their goals, supporting both their physical and mental health.
