About Laura
Hi, I'm Laura! I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with experience in corporate and employee wellness, metabolic weight loss, bariatrics, higher education, and long-term care. I work with individuals to help them build sustainable habits that improve their health and enhance their enjoyment of life. I believe that all foods can fit into a healthy overall lifestyle. I also believe that the number on the scale does not determine your value or your health status. I began my career as an exercise physiologist, spending three years working in cardiac rehabilitation and personal training. Currently, I am completing my Ph.D. in Healthcare Genetics and Genomics.
Approach to care
I believe nutrition and exercise are foundational to optimal health and longevity. I take a functional food-first approach to help you find realistic and sustainable eating patterns to support your health goals. I am here to guide and support your journey, but YOU are the leader.
Your first session with Laura
In your first session, we will explore your goals and challenges. I will also ask questions related to your personal health history, such as diet history, relationship with food, why you're interested in working with a dietitian, and what you hope to achieve through your dietary changes.
