About Joanna
I have been working in hospitals for over 20 years as a Registered Dietitian and have experience supporting patients with their nutrition needs for many different health conditions including pregnancy, gestational diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, heart health, gut health, cancer, critical care, post surgical nutrition care, and weight management.
Approach to care
My approach to care is focusing on personalized strategies using evidence based guidelines. I believe that my clients should be a part of their health journey and I would listen to them and together we will work on their nutrition plans and goals. I want to help clients enjoy eating and to have an overall positive relationship with food for the long term while achieving their nutrition goals and improving their health. I promise I will show empathy and support with working with all my clients on their health needs and goals. I will meet you where you are on your journey to wellness.
Your first session with Joanna
I will do my best to create a welcoming environment for my patients and will start with getting a comprehensive assessment of your medical history, food intake, and your lifestyle. We will discuss your health goals and we will together discuss a personalized nutrition plan to meet your health needs and goals.
