About Onnie
While my primary focus for the last 13 years has been related to Renal, I pride myself on being personable, helpful, empathetic, reasonable and forming a partnership in achieving your health goals. Using my motivational Interviewing/ health coaching skills allows me to help a wide range of patients meet not only their nutrition goal but sustained lifestyle changes. My interest in nutrition started in high school when she was assigned a research paper on an alternative career. What I found was a world where many of my favorite things came together. Food/ cooking, science, people & how they all work together. I was amazed at how many areas of nutrition there were and knew it would be difficult to get bored with SO many choices. My main passion is to help people with an emphasis on partnership and empowering patients in their health journey. Since most nutritional concerns are preventable, tapping into your inner power is key for change.
