About Shiqi

I’m a Registered and Licensed Dietitian with a master’s degree in dietetics and experience working with both pediatric and adult populations. I currently practice as a clinical dietitian, where I support patients across the lifespan, including NICU, pediatrics, and adults with a wide range of medical conditions. Alongside my clinical work, I’ve provided one-on-one nutrition counseling outside of the hospital, which has shaped my passion for helping people navigate nutrition in a way that feels realistic, sustainable, and individualized. I enjoy working with patients from diverse backgrounds and meeting them where they are on their health journey.

Approach to care

My approach to care is patient-centered, evidence-based, and collaborative. I believe nutrition should support your life—not add stress or unnecessary restrictions. I focus on understanding your goals, medical history, lifestyle, and preferences, and then translating nutrition science into practical guidance you can actually use. Whether you’re managing a medical condition, working toward a health goal, or simply trying to build a better relationship with food, I prioritize education, flexibility, and long-term behavior change over quick fixes or fad diets.

Your first session with Shiqi

In your first session, we’ll spend time getting to know you—your health history, concerns, goals, and what’s been challenging or working well for you so far. This is a judgment-free space where questions are always welcome. Together, we’ll identify clear, achievable next steps and begin building a personalized plan that fits your needs and lifestyle. You can expect a supportive, conversational session focused on clarity, confidence, and creating a strong foundation for sustainable progress.

Hobbies

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors and staying active, which helps me maintain balance and perspective. I also love cooking and experimenting with new recipes, both at home and when traveling. Exploring different cultures and cuisines through travel has deepened my appreciation for food as both nourishment and connection, and it continues to inspire my approach to nutrition and wellness.
