Patient reviews
“Julianne has been incredibly supportive throughout my wellness journey. Before working with her, I had anxiety about eating and what would cause me pain or discomfort. She helped me understand my diet regarding food choices and making healthy decisions in general. Julianne is patient and asks all the right questions to lead you toward a healthier lifestyle.“

“Julianne has changed the way I think about food. She has helped me change my life around. I was diabetic and had no knowledge on how I should properly nourish my body. After working hard and really applying everything she taught me, I can proudly say that I have reversed my diabetes. I brag so much about her to everyone that is willing to listen to my testimony. She has helped me meal plan, set goals, and really understand the importance of healthy nutrition. “

“Julianne has been the best nutritionist I've ever worked with. Julianne has helped me see my relationship with food is more important that whats “good or bad” food. Her knowledge of how everything is connected is amazing. I’ve never liked veggies of any kind but she’s encouraged me to try new foods in a way I’ve never done before. I’m so grateful and blesses to be able to work with her. “

About Julianne
Hello, I'm Julianne, and my passion for food began in my earliest memories of getting creative in the kitchen with my family. While my journey with food hasn't always been straightforward, it's shaped my understanding deeply. From struggles with mealtimes and body image to navigating GI discomfort, I bring personal and professional insight to my practice as a dietitian. With a diverse background spanning private practice, community nutrition, and corporate wellness, I am committed to helping you achieve your health goals. I specialize in gut health, family & women's nutrition, mental health, and weight loss. I'm dedicated to finding creative solutions that fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.
Approach to care
My approach to care is centered around holistic, personalized support. Together, we delve into the root causes of health concerns to craft sustainable solutions. The nutrition care plans we develop are designed to nurture the whole person, prioritizing behavioral changes that foster lasting, healthy lifestyles. I believe in the profound healing power of our relationship with food, addressing not just physical health but also nurturing the mind, body, and spirit. Let's collaborate to empower your journey towards comprehensive well-being emphasizing nutrition.
Your first session with Julianne
In our initial session, our focus is on building a strong foundation of understanding between us. It's important to me that I fully grasp your unique health goals to ensure I can provide the best support possible. Through a holistic assessment, we'll explore your medical history, food preferences, food environment, stressors, and health goals. Once we've established this understanding, we'll collaboratively develop a personalized care plan tailored to address the root causes of your health concerns. Together, we'll embark on a path towards achieving your healthiest and best self.
