Your first session with Lori

In Your First Appointment: In our first session, we’ll get to know each other while creating a personalized nutrition care plan. We will go over the reasons for visiting, your medical history, any diet concerns, food allergies, and medications. We’ll work on setting nutrition goals to develop healthier habits that are in alignment with your health targets. Together, we’ll create one or two actionable steps for you to focus on before your next visit. You'll have the space to ask questions and learn how dietary changes can improve your health. At the end, we'll recap key points and I'll share them with you through the Nourish app for easy reference.

Hobbies

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me spending time with my teenage daughter, hiking in nature with my dogs, or practicing energy healing. I also love traveling and exploring different food cultures—because food is not just about nutrition, but also joy, connection, and tradition!
