About Krista
Hi! I'm Krista and I am a Registered Dietitian and Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. I am based in West Michigan near the beautiful lakeshore of Lake Michigan. I always say I have the best job in the world since I get to not only talk with people about food everyday but I get to share how food truly can be medicine.
Approach to care
Krista knows each one of us is unique and that nutrition care must be a highly individualized approach. She always meets her patients wherever they are on the spectrum of making changes and works with each person to create meaningful goals carrying them towards their greater vision for their health. Since Krista is a board certified health and wellness coach in addition to being a registered dietitian, she brings compassion and an open mind into each of her sessions to support a wholeistic approach that considers the whole person: physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Your first session with Krista
I understand meeting with a dietitian for the first time is often a big step for many. In the first session, we will spend time getting to know each other, what your history with food has been like, and learning what your own unique vision of wellness and health is for you. We will set realistic goals to start with and build off of them as time goes on to create your own sustainable lifestyle. Since I specialize in Lifestyle Medicine, we will focus on all of the pillars of your health: Nutrition, Exercise, Stress Management, Sleep, and Connection.
