About Lisa
With over 32 years of diverse experience as a Registered Dietitian, I am also a Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist and a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach. I specialize in diabetes, weight loss, and bariatrics. I've got lots of exeperience in these areas (as well as others).
Approach to care
My aim is to educate, coach, and help YOU to develop deeper health knowledge & understanding, and also tools and skills you need to meet your health, wellness and nutrition goals. With you at the helm, I will help you navigate to develop personalized strategies that will finally help you to overcome barriers, increase confidence, and finally create sustainable lifestyle change.
Your first session with Lisa
Your first session is primarily about getting to know you! You can expect to meet for close to an hour where I'll be asking about medical & surgical history, prescription and over-the counter medications, labaratory values, diet history, usual food & bevergae intake, and your personal health goals. Together we will spend time identifying your inner reasons for wanting to make changes, and discuss goals. As we work together, you will find I will authentically guide, support, and help you stretch your limits and get you thinking -- while also fostering small, realistic goals along the way towards your larger health goals. Let's do this thing!
