About Maggie

Hi, my name is Maggie, and I have been working as a dietitian since 2019. I have worked in dialysis, nursing homes, and a nonprofit organization serving the elderly population. Most of the seniors I work with live with diabetes and chronic kidney disease- health conditions that are often related to long-term unhealthy lifestyle patterns, ongoing inflammation, and chronic stress. That's why I'm passionate about providing practical and supportive education on diabetes and kidney health. I truly believe that improved nutrition can enhance our quality of life as we age. A healthy lifestyle can help us stay active and feel our best so we can keep doing the things we enjoy.

Approach to care

My approach to care is to meet you where you are in your life. We work together to develop sustainable strategies that best fit your lifestyle, preferences, and cultural background. Change takes time, and it’s normal to fall back on old habits. We’ll focus on finding an approach that feels realistic and effective for you, and we’ll adjust along the way as your life changes—whether things get busier, priorities shift, or new responsibilities come up. My role as a dietitian is to provide the resources, guidance, and accountability so you feel supported every step of the way as you work toward your health goal.

Your first session with Maggie

Our first session is about getting to know each other better and helping you feel comfortable sharing your personal story with me. Learning about your relationship with food, your lifestyle, and what you hope to improve can help me understand which resources I can provide that are most helpful to you at this moment. If you're ready to take the next step in your health journey, I'd love to work together with you!
