About Kathy
Kathy is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist with over 30 years of nutritional expertise. Her passion for nutrition stems from her family history of diabetes and heart disease along with her desire to help others prevent health complications and improve their quality of life through evidence-based nutrition.
Approach to care
Kathy describes herself as a "food detective." She works collaboratively with her clients to investigate clues regarding dietary habits and identify key components that may be affecting overall health. For example, assess if one is missing any key nutrients or getting too much of another. Her approach is holistic and non-judgmental, focusing on lasting behavior change rather than rigid rules.
