About Kanisha
As a passionate and experienced Registered Dietitian, I specialize in empowering individuals to achieve their health goals through personalized, evidence-based nutrition counseling. I have had the privilege of guiding clients toward success in weight management, diabetes care, oncology, nutrition support, PCOS and cardiac health. Whether helping clients manage chronic conditions, navigate complex medical diagnoses, or improve their overall wellness, I am committed to tailoring recommendations to each individual’s unique needs, preferences, and lifestyle. My ultimate goal is to inspire confidence, cultivate self-compassion, and empower my clients to take charge of their health journey.
Approach to care
I embrace a Healthy at Every Size® philosophy, focusing on holistic well-being rather than rigid dieting. My approach emphasizes intuitive eating and helping patients develop a positive, balanced relationship with food. Through motivational interviewing, I create a supportive and non-judgmental environment, meeting patients where they are and working collaboratively to set achievable, small goals that lead to sustainable, long-term improvements in health and quality of life.
Your first session with Kanisha
You can expect a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment where the focus is entirely on you and your health goals. I’ll take the time to get to know you by asking open-ended questions to understand your reasons for seeking nutrition guidance and how I can best support you. Together, we’ll explore what has worked well for you in the past and identify any barriers that may have impacted your progress. I’ll also gather a comprehensive picture of your dietary habits, medical history, and social factors to develop a personalized plan tailored to your unique needs. My goal is to empower you with the tools and strategies for sustainable, meaningful change.
