About Sandra
Food and community health challenges has guided my work for 35 years. I hold a B.S. in Food and Nutrition from Chicago State University , Retired USAR NCO with experience in hospitals, community health programs, private practice, and long-term care and assisted living facilities. I practiced in Chicago as an LDN and have led community initiatives, including a 2008 cholesterol-lowering study with an African American Church Outside the office I enjoy reading, walking, and cooking, and spending time with family and church members .
Approach to care
Change that lasts comes from small, evidence-based steps that fit your life. I use current research and practical protocols to shape our plan, and I make education a core part of care so you understand why each step matters. I listen without judgment and focus on the whole person, not a number on a scale. Together we'll set clear, manageable actions that prioritize sustainable habits, behavior change, and your long-term wellbeing.
Your first session with Sandra
Expect a relaxed, thorough conversation where I'll explore your history, routines, and relationship with food. We'll take a deep dive into what has worked and what hasn't, and we'll establish short-term, realistic goals that meet you where you are. There's no pressure and no blame, just practical next steps. I'll make sure you leave with a clear, manageable plan and the knowledge to begin sustainable change together.
