About Sydney

Sydney’s initial interest in nutrition developed from a personal experience with attempting to lose weight and improve her health and quality of life. Sydney’s practice in a hospital setting has given her experience working with a varied client population. This has given her the knowledge to addresses a variety of disease states such as diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, wounds, malnutrition, overweight/obesity, and more. She has also worked with individuals from different backgrounds and ethnicities who are working to achieve a multitude of goals. Sydney has a passion for helping to prevent development and progression of chronic diseases. Sydney believes everyone should know the significance of good nutrition and have access to receiving nutrition care from trained nutrition professionals. Her mission in providing nutrition services is to educate and support individuals in consuming a diet and practicing habits that allow them to live their most healthful, fulfilling lives.
