About Thomas

Hello and welcome! I’m Thomas, a Registered Dietitian who believes that lasting change starts with a realistic plan and genuine support. With multiple years of experience in clinical nutrition, I’ve helped individuals with a wide range of health concerns, from diabetes to weight management and overall wellness. But beyond the science, I’m passionate about helping people feel confident and in control of their health without restrictive dieting. I know how overwhelming nutrition can feel with all the conflicting information out there. My approach is simple: I help you cut through the noise, understand your body, and create sustainable habits that actually fit your lifestyle. Whether your goal is to improve your health markers, build a better understanding with food, or reach your weight goals, we’ll work together to design a sustainable plan that feels empowering. My mission is to help you discover what works for you so you can feel strong, energized, and balanced for the long-term.

Approach to care

My approach to care is grounded in compassion and evidenced-based that is tailored to meet the individual's needs. I take a holistic, client-centered approach that considers the full picture such as your lifestyle, preferences, mindset, and goals, not just what’s on your plate. Together, we’ll focus on creating small, achievable steps that lead to meaningful, lasting change. I emphasize realistic progress over perfection, helping you build consistency and confidence along the way. By combining evidence-based nutrition with practical strategies and genuine support, my goal is to help you develop a sustainable, balanced relationship with food that enhances your overall well-being.

Your first session with Thomas

Our first session is focused on getting to know each other. As well as your lifestyle, eating patterns, sleep, stress levels, and everything that shapes your day-to-day routine. I want to understand your goals, preferences, and relationship with food so we can create a plan that genuinely fits your life. Together, we’ll outline realistic steps that feel sustainable and build your confidence moving forward.
