About Karen

Welcome to Nourish! I look forward to working with you. I have been a registered dietitian specializing in diabetes for over 30 years. I live on a farm and I am enjoying life as an empty nester. I enjoy working with clients that want to improve their diabetes management and prevent chronic disease.

Approach to care

My approach to nutritional care is focusing on progressive change vs. perfection. Using smart goals can help clients achieve balance in their journey with a chronic disease and an enjoyable life. I enjoy helping clients use their basic or advanced cooking skills to begin to enjoy meals filled with healthy less processed foods.

Your first session with Karen

In your first session you can expect a good listener for your nutritional needs. We will begin to establish a mutually respectful relationship. You will also be asked to set at least one smart goal to begin a lifestyle improvement. Hopefully, you will become engaged in overall lifestyle improvement and continuing healthy habits.
