About Stephanie

Hi there! It’s so great to meet you. My name is Stephanie. I was born and raised in southern California but recently moved across the country to Illinois. Prior to joining Nourish, I spent a majority of my career working with low income individuals, providing my patients with tips about eating healthy while sticking to a budget. As a self-proclaimed nerd, I am passionate about staying up to date with the latest nutrition research, and I am always looking for the best tips and tricks to help my patients. I am so excited to join you on your health journey!

Approach to care

I am determined to provide my patients with friendly, supportive, and professional care tailored specifically to them. Building healthy habits is not one size fits all. Every patient is unique and deserves to be treated as such. What works for one patient may not work for someone else. I value sustainable, long-term habits instead of quick fixes, and I recognize that habit change takes time. My goal is to ensure you have the knowledge and tools to make healthy choices long after our appointments end. Whether you need accountability, advice, or just someone to listen, I am here to support you!

Your first session with Stephanie

During our first appointment, the goal is to learn all about you — your lifestyle, eating habits, preferences, medical history, and so much more. This information allows me to see the big picture and understand you on a personal level. With this information in mind, we will work together to create an action plan with attainable goals, setting a strong foundation for our numerous follow-up appointments. Thank you for the opportunity to walk alongside you as you navigate this journey. LET'S DO THIS! :)
