About Katerina

My parents named me Katerina, though I invite people to call me Kate. I have been lucky to have found my soul's purpose, and that is to help others to live healthier and happier lives. I practice Integrative and Functional nutrition, which addresses the root cause of illness and imbalance in the body.

Approach to care

I offer a judgment free and safe space to explore your eating habits and your environment in order to help you figure out and understand how these affect your health and well-being. Whether you struggle with bloating, excess weight, acid reflux, autoimmune disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc., whether you would like to learn healthy cooking methods and tips, or whether you just try to eat healthier and make healthy swaps in foods and ingredients, I am here to help you and guide you. I focus on personalized nutrition, integration of natural methods and practices, and trauma-informed care. I have knowledge of therapeutic/diagnostic diets (FODMAP, Low-histamine, Elimination diet, Low carb/healthy fats, Paleo, Keto-Paleo, GAPS, Specific Carbohydrate diet, Low-sulfur diet), gut health/5-R protocol, and I offer anti-inflammatory and detoxification diet and supplement support. I can order and interpret standard and functional laboratory data.

Your first session with Katerina

In our first session (sometimes it takes two), I ask many questions about YOU. For example, I ask what are your symptoms, what you would like to change, what may be some obstacles to change, what are your goals, what kind of environment you live in, what are you unique life circumstances, we may discuss what resources are available to you, and what your meals look like, etc. I need a full picture of what may be affecting your body and wellbeing in order to make a personalized plan to help you achieve your goals and feel better.
