About Mika

Hello! My name is Mika and I'm so happy to be your Dietitian! A few fun facts about me: I'm a huge nerd at heart and love diving into conversations about all things media. Outside of that, I stay active through Olympic Weightlifting and Karate, which have become key parts of my weekly routine. I also have a strong interest in herbal medicine, which I have earned my M.S in Clinical Herbal Medicine. So, this can be a topic of discussion for us as well!

Approach to care

My approach to care is holistic, aiming to understand the full picture of your health and lifestyle. I consider key areas like diet, exercise, sleep, and stress, as they form the foundation for meaningful change. I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where empathy and collaboration guide our work together; we will take things one step at a time, session by session, week by week and celebrate the wins! I also believe healing can include moments of lightness and connection, so our time doesn’t need to feel overly clinical. Lastly, if you're interested in Herbal Medicine, I'm happy to incorporate that as well, as it naturally complements nutrition and other lifestyle factors.

Your first session with Mika

During our first session, expect me to learn more about YOU! I’d like to get to know more about you and what your likes, dislikes, and habits are. This will allow me to get a better picture of you and your goals and what things we can work on that still align with your lifestyle.

Hobbies
