Miriam Christie

About Miriam

I advocate for “healthy eating” as a sustainable approach to achieving weight and nutrition goals, moving away from conventional dieting. My journey began at the University of California, where I earned my Dietetics degree and became a Registered Dietitian. With over 25 years in Nutrition and Health, I've taught various nutrition courses and worked with diverse age groups, especially in Home Health and Hospice. Through my consulting services, I provide personalized nutrition education and exercise consultations, focusing on wellness and fostering a positive relationship with food.

Approach to care

I consult with clients to identify nutritional risks and assess their needs and priorities, providing tailored dietary recommendations to meet their goals within budgetary limits. My approach covers essential aspects of health and nutrition that contribute to a balanced diet, including the five food groups, portion sizes, and calorie awareness. I also address emotional eating, navigating celebrations, social dining, weight maintenance, and the process of relearning healthy eating habits while managing weight-related fears.

Your first session with Miriam

In your first session with me, I will create a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. We'll start by discussing your health history, current conditions, and any dietary habits you have. Together, we'll identify your nutrition goals, whether they involve weight management, improving health, or enhancing overall well-being. I will provide education on essential nutrition concepts, such as food groups and portion sizes, and begin to develop a personalized nutrition plan tailored to your needs. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions, and we'll outline follow-up steps to track your progress.
