About Michelle Kathleen
I took a nutrition class, and I really enjoyed learning about it. So, I decided to purse my undergraduate degree in nutrition. I wanted to increase my earning potential so then I pursued a master's in nutrition. I became a Registered Dietitian shortly after I graduated with my master's and decided it wasn't for me at the time. During my time away, I mostly worked in customer service, but food and nutrition have always stayed with me. I discovered a love for food in my late 20's. I have gained and lost weight a few times in my life and currently am working toward a weight loss goal and loving myself every step of the way. I recently passed the RD exam again and so I am here to hopefully help others and myself achieve healthier lifestyles. When I'm not working, I enjoy walking, painting, drawing, cooking, and listening to music. I want to help people live healthier lives through practical, sustainable change.
Approach to care
Science informs the assistance I offer, and empathy guides the way we put them into practice. I use current research to create clear, actionable steps, while holding a weight-neutral, Health At Every Size perspective. We'll look at your whole life, not just food, and I aim to teach you skills you can use long term. Together we'll set realistic strategies, track what works, and adjust without judgment so changes stick.
Your first session with Michelle Kathleen
Expect a conversation about your relationship with food, your routines, and what matters most to you. This is a low-pressure, judgment-free space, so you don't need to have answers before we meet. We'll review your history, highlight strengths, and establish short-term goals that feel doable. By the end of the visit we'll have a clear starting plan and steps we'll tackle together.
