Approach to care

My approach to care is using evidence-based and innovative interventions to help you attain your nutritional health goals. I am an attentive listener to your health concerns and my goal is to help you achieve improved health outcomes. I practice "Food as Medicine" encouraging food-based intervention and lifestyle changes to prevent and manage nutrition-related diseases.

Your first session with Matilda

In your first session I will learn about you, your health history, concerns and nutritional goals, how your environment may impact your nutritional and lifestyle choices. In our conversation, we will agree on the nutrition plan best suited to address your individual concerns and identify steps and strategies to help you achieve your desired health outcomes. This plan will be one suited to you as an individual and I will be there to help you each step of the way.
