About Mishell
Hello! My name is Mishell, but you can call me Mishi. As a registered dietitian with four years of experience in a hospital setting, I specialize in helping patients manage a wide range of chronic conditions, from obesity and heart disease to cancer and kidney disease. I'm excited to help you on your journey toward a healthier lifestyle! I'm also fluent in Spanish, so for those of you out there that are interested in Spanish cuisines, welcome/bienvendo!
Approach to care
My approach is all about empowerment and partnership. I don't believe in quick fixes or strict rules. Instead, I focus on helping you build a positive relationship with food, one that fits your unique lifestyle. We'll work together as a team to create a practical, personalized plan that helps you feel your best, without sacrificing the joy of eating. Think of me as your guide and biggest cheerleader on your journey to a healthier, happier you!
Your first session with Mishell
Our first session is a relaxed chat where we'll get to know each other. We'll talk about your health history, your daily routine, and what you'd like to accomplish. My goal is to listen and learn about your unique story so we can start building a plan together that feels good and works for you. You'll leave with a clear idea of what's next and a few simple, positive steps to get started.
