About Katrina
Hi, I'm Katy. I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with 8 years of experience helping to improve my patients' health and relationships to food. I have worked in many settings including hospitals, schools, corporate gyms, adult day care programs, and private practice. I hold a Masters in Dietetics with research into Intuitive Eating and its effects on health outcomes. I am also a Certified Nutrition Support Clinician with over 5 years of clinical experience managing tube feeds and TPN. I can't wait to support you on your health journey!
Approach to care
I follow a Health at Every Size approach and aim to improve health and well-being without a focus on weight. I rely on Intuitive Eating as a framework to improve my patient's relationships with food. I don't judge and I will not police what you eat. I want to make sure any goals you make will easily fit into your life so they can become part of your day-to-day. I am familiar with nuances around nutrition support and can provide encouragement and expertise with this type of feeding. Your relationship with food, your body, and your health is very important to me.
Your first session with Katrina
Our first session together will involve getting to know each other, understanding your current habits and relationship to food, and identifying goals and changes that you wish to make. I will ask questions to get a better understanding of your background and what you want out of this experience. This is also a time for you to ask questions! Feel free to bring anything you are wondering about, but there's no pressure if you don't have any. If there is anything else you want to know, please don't hesitate to reach out katrina.fortman@usenourish.com!
