About Noelle
Hi! My name is Noelle and I am so excited to meet you. I have been a registered dietitian for a few years now and have experience working with many different populations- chronic illness management, weight loss, food insecure/low-income just to name a few. I am a proud Latina so I know how important cultural identity is when making food choices and managing health outcomes. I was a stay at home mom for a couple years to my now crazy toddler so I am very(!) aware of how life can just get in the way and hinder our ability to make everyday "good" choices. Ultimately, it's about progress, no matter how small, not perfection! I am very much a body neutral dietitian. I don't believe in restriction but rather moderation. I encourage autonomy and self-care because I believe we need to trust our body wisdom when it comes to health. If we align, I look forward to meeting you and am very excited to take part in your nutrition journey!
Approach to care
Patient-centered: tailor nutrition advice to your cultural preferences, personal goals, and lifestyle. Non-diet/intuitive eating: reject the diet mentality (disregarding chronic illness) and promote self trust in food choices; body respect. "All foods fit": food is not inherently "good" or "bad", promotes flexible eating without shame or restriction. "Progress over perfection": creating long term, consistent habits rather than daily perfection to allow for flexibility and food enjoyment.
Your first session with Noelle
I want to get to know you! I am curious about what your day to day looks like, your lifestyle, and ultimately you goals. In our first session, we would discuss what brings you to me, how I can provide support on your journey, and create realistic short term and long term goals. I care about what is important to you so we would figure out a plan of action together that is not only feasible, but long-lasting for in terms of progress and success.
