About Michelle
Hi! My name is Michelle and I became a Registered Dietitian because of my passion for helping others feel healthy and confident in their food choices! I am passionate about helping others live a healthy lifestyle through confidence building and mindful healthy eating. Food is so much more than facts on a nutrition label. Food is culture, tradition, nostalgia, and energy. Food brings us together, and I get that. I will do my best to help you reach your health goals, whether you love food or don't. I have 6 years of experience working in a private practice setting, along with 2 years of working in outpatient care. I specialize in weight management and diabetes.
Approach to care
My approach to care is all about warmth and trust. I listen. I take all your needs into consideration, because this is about you, and you come first. I would hope this is a given, but our meetings are a totally judgment FREE zone, and I will do my best to help you feel that way. I am all about using the “all foods fit approach” because I believe that all foods can fit into a healthy lifestyle and because, I am here to help you make lasting lifestyle changes. I will do my absolute best to make sure everything we discuss is crystal clear and we will work together to help you feel your best, healthiest, and most confident self.
Your first session with Michelle
During our first meeting we we will get to know each other, but most importantly I want to hear about you! You can expect a comfortable and friendly atmosphere where we will discuss what's important to your specific health and dietary needs, and what initially brought you to meet with me! We will take everything important to you into consideration; including your medical/nutritional history, your cultural foods, your favorite, and not so favorite foods, your lifestyle and everything in between! We will adjust your goals and needs as deem necessary and most importantly, we will work together to determine the best next steps and help you reach your health and nutrition goals.
