About Mikayla

My name is Mikayla and I am a registered dietitian! My specialties are endocrinology, pediatrics, & adult weight management with a focus in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. I have become an expert with 3 years of experience in this field, along with the Certified Diabetes Education and Care Specialist credential. I am passionate about diabetes, but I also love sports nutrition and am working on a Master's in Exercise Science and Wellness! If you feel that you don’t fit within one of these specialities, but we might be a good match, please feel free to connect with me as I am open to working with any/all patients :)

Approach to care

I believe that "health" looks different on everybody. Weight is not the most important thing to me when I am assessing a client and their goals. What is most important to me is making sure that you are feeding your body sustaining nutrients, being active, and focusing on aspects of your life that you are able to control. This is my approach to care and I know that all of these factors will look different to everyone.

Your first session with Mikayla

I want to know all about your relationship with food and what your goals are! I understand that some of these topics may be sensitive so we can go at your own pace. Healing your relationship with food will take time and there is no rush. We will start with a diet-recall of some of your typical go-to foods that you eat on a daily basis. We will take a look at different aspects of your life - emotional, social, spiritual, and physical - as all of these things make you who you are! I can't wait to meet you!
