About Jean

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start with your health or weight, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. I’m Jean, a registered dietitian with extensive experience helping people approach nutrition in a way that feels realistic, compassionate, and sustainable. I specialize in weight management, including support for individuals using GLP-1 and other weight-loss medications. Many clients I work with are navigating appetite changes, side effects, low energy, or fear of “doing it wrong.” My role is to help you feel nourished, supported, and confident! Not restricted or judged. Together, we focus on habits that fit your life and support your health and well-being. When we work together, you can expect a calm, encouraging space, realistic goals, and steady progress. Success isn’t just about the scale, it’s about feeling stronger, more in control, and more hopeful about your health.

Approach to care

When we work together, you can expect a calm, fun, encouraging space where you feel heard and supported. We’ll start with where you are, not where you think you “should” be. I’ll help you make sense of nutrition in simple terms, set realistic goals, and take small steps that add up over time. We’ll check in often, adjust as needed, and focus on how you’re feeling along the way. Most clients tell me they feel: Less overwhelmed and more in control; More confident about food and their choices; Better supported and understood;Hopeful about their health again You don’t have to do this alone. I’ll walk alongside you and help you build a healthier relationship with food, one step at a time.

Your first session with Jean

In your first session, we’ll talk about your goals, challenges, and what’s going on in your life right now. If you’re using a GLP-1 medication, we’ll discuss how it’s affecting your appetite and eating. Together, we’ll set simple, realistic next steps so you leave feeling supported and confident about moving forward.

Hobbies

When I’m not working with clients, I love staying active and enjoying life’s everyday joys. You’ll often find me playing pickleball (competitively… and enthusiastically), strength training, or working on my golf game — progress, not perfection applies there too. I’m happiest spending time with my husband, kids, and grandchildren, traveling, being outdoors, or sharing a good conversation and a good laugh. Faith and community are important to me, and they help keep me grounded, grateful, and optimistic. At heart, I’m a cheerleader. I genuinely love encouraging people, celebrating small wins, and reminding others of what they’re capable of, especially when things feel hard or slow. I believe health should support your life, not take it over. Food, movement, and self-care are meant to help you feel stronger, more energized, and more present for the people and things you love. That belief shows up in my work every day: realistic, balanced, encouraging, and always human.
