About Michelle

Working as a registered dietitian in hospital settings, I have a diverse understanding of various diseases and the importance of nutrition in their prevention and management. Nutrition can often feel overwhelming, however I am here to support and provide practical, evidence-based guidance to meet you where you are at. I believe nutrition should feel supportive, realistic, and personalized to you. I prioritize clear, science-backed plans in treating each patient holistically.

Approach to care

Food and health deserve both curiosity and clear guidance. I use current research to provide recommendations, while looking at the whole person, not just numbers. We'll work in a weight-neutral, behavior-focused approach, revolving around your goals and lived experience, translating evidence into small, actionable steps. I am here to help simplify nutrition, build sustainable habits, and create a positive relationship with food.

Your first session with Michelle

Expect a calm, judgment-free conversation where I learn more about you and your lifestyle. We'll take a deep dive into your relationship with food, explore patterns, preferences, and barriers. Together we will work through what works best for you and establish short-term, achievable goals you feel confident and excited to try.
