About Jessica
Hi! My name is Jessica and I am a Registered Dietitian who is passionate about helping people improve their health through proper nutrition and sustainable lifestyle choices. My interest in nutrition first started when I found out I had multiple food intolerances as a teenager and began working with a registered dietitian myself. As I learned more about the many ways nutrition affects oneās overall health and saw the benefits of working with a dietitian firsthand, I knew I wanted to share that knowledge with other people. I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds and am experienced in helping individuals with chronic health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. I also have a lot of experience in weight management and improving one's relationship with food. I strongly believe in the philosophy that āfood is medicineā and how nutrition has the power to prevent and treat disease.
Approach to care
I believe in a holistic approach to wellness and think it is important to address physical, mental, and emotional factors when it comes to health. My goal is to provide you with personalized guidance and support that is evidence-based and tailored to your unique nutritional needs and preferences. I like to meet you where you're at and will work with you to create realistic goals and achieve sustainable changes. Think of me as your personal coach and cheerleader- empowering you with the knowledge and skills you need on your health and wellness journey and rooting for you every step of the way!
Your first session with Jessica
In your first session you can expect a lot of questions from me- I want to get to know you, your current lifestyle and dietary factors, and what you hope to accomplish. I will conduct a comprehensive nutrition assessment including, but not limited to medical history, current dietary pattern, and lifestyle factors such as sleep and stress. From there we can start to set realistic goals that we will build upon as we continue to work together. I look forward to working with and empowering you to live a healthy lifestyle!
