About Rachel
Hi, my name is Rachel, and I love what I do! I enjoy the challenge of tailoring nutritional advice to meet the specific needs of individuals and collaboratively developing solutions. I have prior experience working in an outpatient setting, guiding clients to achieve their nutritional goals, as well as experience delivering medical nutrition therapy in the inpatient setting. My background has equipped me with the confidence and ability to provide high-quality and evidenced-based care to a diverse population of patients, including those with cardiac conditions, diabetes, kidney disease, pre/post-natal, and critical care, to name a few.
Approach to care
I believe that compassion is key to delivering life-changing healthcare, and I will meet you wherever you are in your journey to support you. With experience working in both outpatient and inpatient settings, I appreciate the nuances involved in creating achievable goals and imparting practical advice that lend to results. As a mom of three kids, I understand that life gets hectic; let's work together to optimize your health, even when you may think that's impossible!
Your first session with Rachel
During our first session, most of the time will be spent getting to know each other. I will ask you questions about your background - not necessarily food-related - so that I may have a holistic understanding of what your goals are and all the different factors that may be affecting your health. Then, together we will set a few goals that you may start implementing immediately.
