About Katherine

Kate is a Registered Dietitian with experience in long term care and now a return to counselling. Nutrition is a second career for Kate. She started her career in the food industry and pivoted to healthcare with a fascination for how nutrition can improve health. My goal is to provide medical nutrition therapy and education to people like you who are ready to learn about nutrition, its effect on health, and how to implement healthy actions in their daily life. In my free time I am spending time with my family; my husband and three kids who are all in high school and college. I enjoy cooking with my family, canning all the produce my husband gardens, and I am an avid crocheter.

Approach to care

I want to work with you to determine what your health goals are and to create actions that make daily progress towards those goals. I will listen without judgement to your personal medical needs and your relationship with food. I will offer recommendations based on current nutrition knowledge and experience. Recommendations are tailored to your specific needs and agreed upon so that they are sustainable in your daily life. I want to assist you in finding solutions that work and that facilitate actions that make progress to your goals.

Your first session with Katherine

Together we will spend some time getting to know one another. I will create a nutrition assessment and develop specific goals with you. We will determine the next actions that promote progress towards the goals you have. We will discuss actions for monitoring progress between sessions and address concerns that may occur. My goal is that you complete the session with a sense that you are able to make progress with support and can utilize Nourish Resources.
