About Kerry

Hi! My name is Kerry and I have been a registered dietitian for 13 years focusing on sports nutrition, Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes management, women’s health, and weight loss. I hold a certificate in diabetes management in addition to completing a 500-hour yoga teacher training focusing on mindfulness and meditation. I have worked with newly diagnosed diabetes patients in addition to working with Green Berets and fitness competitors to optimize their sports nutrition. I also worked for Medtronic Diabetes training patients on insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors. I love helping people achieve their nutrition goals and feel the best possible so they can live out their passions.

Your first session with Kerry

During your first session with me, we will take a deep dive into getting to know you. Together, we will make this a positive experience by exploring your health journey and what is most important to you. This includes your medical history, schedule, lifestyle, current relationship with food, food preferences, current goals, and any barriers. This is also a great time to ask me any questions. From there, I will come up with a set of actions and one to two small goals to achieve before our next appointment. In the next several appointments, I will come up with a tailored treatment plan that you feel empowered by. I will give you the tools you need to succeed while having fun along the way.
