About Sandra
Hello!! I am a wife and a mother of two teen girls and just had a son. I started my career as a Dietitian 5 years ago and have worked in an outpatient and clinical setting. I recently got an extra certification to become specialized as a Diabetes Care and Education Specialist in order to provide the most evidence based education to people living with diabetes, prediabetes, gestational diabetes, and other health conditions. I love helping individuals understand nutrition and know that their goals are reachable.
Approach to care
My approach to care is collaborative and all about you as an individual and what your goals are. I want to work beside you on your journey by providing you with the knowledge, guidance and encouragement that you need in order to reach your goals. My job is to work with you to identify gaps in knowledge and present you with appropriate options/actions to help you reach your goals. You know you best and you will always be in control of all goals set.
Your first session with Sandra
During our first session we will get to know one another. We will spend time discussing your medical history, relationship with food, complete a 24 hour diet recall, discuss other nutrition related topics/programs you have tried(what has worked and what hasn't worked for you) and what you hope to learn/accomplish with our time together. This time allows me to better understand you as individual, understand what information you already know and what I can help you with. from this, we will be able to develop a plan to help get you started on your goals.
