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 people of all ages: expecting mothers, infants, children and adults. I have provided nutrition education to individuals and families on many health topics, providing them with the tools, resources, skills and knowledge needed to budget for healthy foods and fit them into their healthy meal plans. I have worked with people individually in an outpatient setting, and currently in an acute care hospital providing medical nutrition therapy. I have a background in nutrition therapy for conditions such as Diabetes, Gestational Diabetes, COPD, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, weight management and others. I can’t wait to get started working with you!
Approach to care
I believe that everyone has the opportunity to make improvements to their health and well-being. When one goal is achieved, another can take its place to build on improved well-being. Goals are interchangeable, in that if something is not working, the 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.
