Approach to care

Lynn is kind, caring and compassionate. Her approach is gentle and she understands that eating well is truly a balance. Lynn has more than twenty years of experience providing one-on-one care. She is easy to talk to and is realistic when setting goals and expectations.

Your first session with Lynn

During your first session, Lynn will start off by asking you questions about your lifestyle during the week and weekends. She'll want to know what you enjoy eating and drinking throughout the day. One of Lynn's favorite Peloton instructions, Emma Lovewell, says "Progress, Not Perfection". Lynn will encourage that mantra during each session. She doesn’t expect anyone to eat perfectly every day and doesn't believe one should try to do so. It's ideal to be able to enjoy food during the holidays, birthday celebrations and vacation (in moderation, of course)!
