About Patricia
My name is Patricia Champion. I have been a Registered Dietitian since 2011. I chose to become Registered Dietitian to help others. To help them feel their best through nutrition. Some people want to lose or gain weight while others struggle with various medical conditions. Over my career I have worked with a wide variety of companies as well as individuals from truck drivers who are diabetic, kidney transplant individuals to those receiving treatment for cancer. No matter what has brought you here today, I hope that you will give me a chance to help learn about your individual health goals, so that we can work together to help you feel your best.
Approach to care
You are unique, and so is my approach to helping you along your journey to meet your health goals. I will work alongside you to set realistic goals and help determine the best path that we can walk down together to reach them. We will look at what you have tried in the past that may not have worked for you and why. Any change you make I want it to be a lifestyle changeāsomething you can see yourself continuing to do six months from now, a year from now, five years from now-so that the changes you make are sustainable. At each session we will review previous goals to see if they need to be modified. Unless there is an allergy or medical condition preventing you from consuming certain foods, I believe that all foods can fit into a healthy meal pattern. Letās figure out your plan together!
Your first session with Patricia
In our first session I would like to learn more about you. What brought you to Nourish? What are your health goals? What motivates you and what obstacles can I help you overcome? In our first session we will set at least one realistic goal for you to work towards until our next session.
