About Kendra

Hi! My name is Kendra and I am a dedicated Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES). I have over 20 years experience in the nutrition and health education field. I specialize in weight management, diabetes care, cardiovascular health, healthy aging and GLP-1 medications.

Approach to care

I take a supportive, non judgmental approach to care and can help YOU create realistic, personalized plans that fit YOUR lifestyle and lead you to sustainable, long-term results. I believe everyone's journey is unique and will meet you where YOU are in your health journey. I want to help empower you to take control of your health whether that means managing blood sugar, improving heart health, achieving a healthy weight or supporting overall wellness with age. I believe in balance and creating small achievable goals- not "quick-fixes" that will lead to confidence, vitality and long term success.

Your first session with Kendra

Your first appointment is all about getting to know you and laying the foundation for your health journey. We will discuss health history, lifestyle, eating habits and goals. This will help me understand your unique needs. I also will review your most current lab results (if available) to get a complete picture of your health. This will be a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly share your concerns. The goal of the first session is to start building a supportive relationship and to create a plan that feels manageable, empowering and tailored to you. From there, we will schedule for follow up sessions to track progress and make adjustments along the way.
