About Mindy

Hi! I am a Dietitian with over 25 years experience working in clinical dietetics. I have been in rural healthcare in South Dakota and have experience with many diagnosis including diabetes , heart disease, renal disease and dialysis, obesity, allergies, celiac and other autoimmune diagnosis. I completed my Food and Nutrition Degree at NDSU and my internship with Merit Care in Fargo and with Rural Health RDs in North Dakota.

Approach to care

My approach to care is individualizing goals and care by completing a comprehensive assessment including nutrition and lifestyle. I will get to know you and we will create a care plan with your goals in mind. I am confident in my scope of practice and will refer you to other providers for anything outside my skill base. I am interested in and open to integrative and functional medicine therapies to treat the whole person. Some tools we might use are lifestyle journaling, meal planning and preparation skills, breathwork and stress management tools and keeping in touch between sessions.

Your first session with Mindy

During our first session you can expect to have a great conversation, so we can get to know each other. As part of the nutrition assessment I like to know about your history, potential stressors, sleep, genetics and anything you think is relevant to your wellness and care. You will end the first session with a goal or two to work on for the week that aligns with your long term goals. I look forward to meeting you where you are at and helping you accomplish your goals.
