About Karen
Hello! Welcome to Nourish, I am glad you are here and ready to begin taking the next steps towards your health and wellness journey. As your dietitian, I bring over 20 years of nutrition and education experience from a variety of settings to assist you in achieving your goals. I have worked with families and people of all ages in a wide range of settings. I have provided education to individuals and families on many health topics and taught them how to utilize their resources to budget for healthy foods to fit into their healthy meal plans. I have worked with people individually in an outpatient setting and currently work in an acute care hospital providing medical nutrition therapy. In both settings, I have worked with individuals to assist in chronic disease management such as kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, COPD, Diabetes, weight loss, weight gain and weight maintenance to name a few. I can’t wait to get started!
Approach to care
I believe that everyone has the opportunity to improve their health and that improvements are always revolving. When one goal is achieved, another can take its place to build on improved well-being. I also believe that goals are ever changing in that if something is not working, a change in approach to achieve that goal needs to be modified. I do not believe in a “one size fits all” method. I utilize active listening to learn about each person and meet them where they are in their readiness for change. I utilize evidenced based approaches and accountability to help you achieve realistic, long term sustainable changes.
Your first session with Karen
Our first meeting will be spent learning about you and what your expectations are of me, as your dietitian. We will be focusing on what your needs are surrounding nutrition and health. This will help to prioritize our plan moving forward to achieving your wellness goals.
