About Laverne

Hi! I am a Registered Dietitian passionate about helping people achieve their health and wellness goals with realistic and sustainable nutrition habits. Growing up in a Middle Eastern household, sharing meals and celebrating through food shaped my love for nutrition and a way to connect with others. I have past experience working for a nonprofit organization, where I gained expertise in outpatient nutrition providing nutrition education and counseling to a diverse patient population of various ages, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and medical conditions. With my skills, I hope to empower my clients to feel confident in making choices that fit their lifestyle and support long term health goals.

Approach to care

I believe in a collaborative approach, working with my clients to create realistic goals that they believe they can achieve. Having a non-diet approach is what I believe will help one make sustainable lifestyle changes rather following a restrictive diet or meal plan.

Your first session with Laverne

In your first session, I really want to get to know you as a person! I will ask you to dive into what a typical day is like for you, usual eating patterns, and what are challenges you typically face. Together we can collaborate on practical strategies that are tailored to you!
