Kathryn Hummer

About Kathryn

Hi, I'm Katie Hummer, Registered and Licensed Dietitian. I'm also a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. I've been a dietitian for 15 years with experience in multiple areas of nutrition. My main interests include weight management and women's health. I have 8 years experience with working in weight loss clinics, both on site and remote. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (variety of genres), puzzles, dancing, yoga/pilates, and running - I ran my first half marathon and looking forward to running another one this year! I love a good Podcast and some of my favorites include Morbid, NPR Politics, The Docs Who Lift, The Good Inside, and The Happiness Lab. I'm excited to be apart of the Nourish Community and looking forward to connecting with others.

Approach to care

My core concept to patient care is person/patient centered. I'm trained in motivational interviewing and empathy. I find these are key with helping others find motivation to achieving a healthier lifestyle. I believe these approaches also help me be a better colleague, employee, friend, and family member.

Your first session with Kathryn

In your first session, I will spend time learning more about you and your current lifestyle. I like to have more of a conversation approach, rather than Q and A. I want to learn about you and what areas I can help provide insight to achieve realistic and long term change. I will meet you at where you are at in your readiness to learn and change. Our sessions are guided towards you.
