Approach to care

Johna takes a patient-centered, judgment-free approach, using Motivational Interviewing to help you explore what matters most for your health. She believes you’re the expert on your body and respects your choices every step of the way. With a weight-neutral perspective, she emphasizes overall well-being rather than body weight alone. Her goal is to help you get the most nutrition bang for your buck—whether that means optimizing meals, working within a budget, or simplifying healthy eating. Her approach is ideal for those managing a chronic condition or looking to move away from fad dieting toward sustainable, evidence-based nutrition.
