Megan Kitagawa

About Megan

I'm a registered dietitian with a lifelong love of food, and together, we can explore the various roles it can play in fueling you to tackle whatever life throws at you! Born and raised in sunny California, I've had a fortune to work with patients and clients from many different cultural backgrounds, and I'm passionate about exploring the way food fits into every person's upbringing and lifestyle.

Approach to care

My approach to care involves getting to know you as the person, not just as a clinician but also a peer. I am a strong believer in meeting clients wherever they are at in their health journey, and celebrating the small wins as they come as we work towards your larger health goals. Together, we will work towards what is most important for YOU! I also believe that "all food fits" in a healthy diet, and celebrating and enjoying all different types of food is vital to creating long-lasting and sustainable change. There is no "one size fits all" approach to our nutrition, and I look forward to helping you pave your own unique path to achieving your goals.

Your first session with Megan

In our first session, I want to spend time learning about you! What is at the top of your list of health goals, and what are you hoping to get out of our time together? While it is important to discuss your current dietary habits, lifestyle, and health history, we will also talk about your motivations, routines, and relationship with food and movement to help me get to know you as the person, not just the client.
