About Paula
My name is Paula and I have been a Registered Dietitian for more than 20 years. I enjoy helping others meet their nutritional goals through education, guidance and patient or client centered goal setting. I specialize in diabetes care and education as well as sports nutrition and general health. I look forward to meeting with you and helping you with your nutrition goals and questions.
Approach to care
My approach is client centered, personalized and compassionate. I like to get you know you and see what questions you may have and what your nutritional needs and goals are. I aim to focus on the unique needs of each client and provide evidenced-based strategies tailored to helping the client feel empowered to meet their goals. I am available to provide education, guidance, meal planning (if needed), carbohydrate management, or balanced nutrition to achieve desired goals.
Your first session with Paula
The first session will be an opportunity for you to share your goals for meeting with a registered dietitian and what you hope to gain from our sessions. This is your time to provide any information you feel is important and relevant to your health and nutrition. We will begin with a comprehensive review of your medical history, current diet, lifestyle, and any specific concerns, such as managing a health condition, boosting energy levels, or incorporating more variety into your meals. I will ask questions to gather additional information, allowing us to set realistic, personalized goals together. You can expect an individualized, evidence-based approach tailored to your unique health needs.
