About Nicholas

Hello, I’m Nicholas. With nearly 13 years as a Food & Nutrition Services Dietary manager in clinical settings, 12 years of hands-on patient care as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist including 10 of those years as a Certified Lactation Specialist working in various hospital and clinic facilities, I have supported patients with their goals in multiple care needs for all age groups and backgrounds. My approach blends evidence-based nutrition with practical, everyday plans that fit your life and no one else's. I carry my CLS credential with pride and a commitment to clear, actionable guidance. I believe health is a partnership, and I stay open to your concerns while recognizing that sustained change comes from both of us showing up long term.

Approach to care

Together, our care will be grounded in evidence and tailored to you. I am committed to warmth, curiosity, no judgment all while being direct about what moves you forward. I embrace a mindset based on reality and not trends, focusing on habits of well-being rather than a number. My approach is holistic and educational, helping you understand the 'why' behind the steps to equip you for a lifetime.

Your first session with Nicholas

As we start, our first appointment is all about you. We will review your medical & dietary history, current concerns and establish short-term goals together. I will also take a deep dive into your relationship with food to understand your patterns, triggers and what you hope to change. This is a judgment-free, low-pressure conversation, and you do not need to have it all figured out. I want you to feel heard.
