About Krista

Hi 👋🏻 I’m Krista, a registered dietitian and Integrative & Functional Nutrition Certified Practitioner. As a partner in your health journey, my mission is to educate and empower you to make simple diet and lifestyle changes that ultimately have a positive impact on your long-term health and happiness. I’ve worked with a variety of patients in the areas of women’s health, weight management, athletic performance, cardiovascular health, gastrointestinal disorders, thyroid dysfunction, autoimmune conditions, and more. Not only have I applied my knowledge to helping others, but it has been integral to healing myself. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you achieve optimal health!

Approach to care

As a functional nutrition provider, I use a client-centered, whole-person approach that focuses on food-as-medicine. Think of me as a guide to your ultimate health destination. You set the location or health goal(s), and together we develop personalized diet and lifestyle interventions to support you along your journey. I pride myself on providing science-based recommendations which will help you better-understand "the why" behind behavior change. Ultimately, I aim to help you become the best version of yourself.

Your first session with Krista

The first step is getting to know you! In our initial session, I want to learn more about your story. Tell me about your intentions, personal values, lifestyle, hobbies, health history, concerns, and more. Using my expertise, I will conduct a health assessment to determine some initial diet and lifestyle recommendations that support reaching your health goal(s). Together, we will set attainable, sustainable interventions for you to try as well as next steps for continuing to support your health journey. Thank you for considering me as part of your healthcare team!
