Jacqueline Tajalle

About Jacqueline

Welcome! My name is Jackie, and I have been a Registered Dietitian for about 6 years within the clinical setting. My passion for helping patients heal only continues to grow! I previously worked 3 years in skilled-nursing and rehabilitation, working with patients recovering from illnesses related to heart disease, diabetes, wound-healing, and malnutrition. For the past 3 years and currently, I have been working in outpatient dialysis helping end-stage renal disease patients navigate through the complicated disease process as best as they can, through not only diet/lifestyle stages, but also through emotional support.

Approach to care

My goal is to help you achieve your health goals without letting go of everything you love. I strive to be as culturally inclusive as possible when it comes to managing your diet. While there may be some changes or restrictions that are necessary, I love to teach others how to balance and strategize through what they’re already familiar with, while also being open to trying new things. I will always meet you where you’re at!

Your first session with Jacqueline

Your first session will be easy going, and you can decide what you want to discuss. My only ask is that we get to know each other to ensure that I am a good fit for you. We will spend a large amount of time discussing your history, current knowledge around health, your hobbies, and health goals. From there we can collaborate on a care plan together and work on small tasks to start.
