About Valerie
Hi! Iām Valerie, but you can call me Val. Iām a full-time clinical dietitian and am thrilled to join the Nourish community as a part-time RDN. I grew up in a big, active family, playing multiple sports, which helped shape my passion for wellness and balanced living. Iām a personable, understanding, and encouraging coach at heart. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and support you with evidence-based, realistic strategies that fit your lifestyle. Iām genuinely excited to help you build confidence in your nutrition choices and reach your health goalsāone achievable step at a time!
Approach to care
I believe nutrition is never one-size-fits-all. My approach is rooted in individualized, patient-centered care designed to support you on your unique path to success. I recognize that everyoneās journey looks different, and my goal is to meet you where you are with respect, understanding, and encouragement. The first step is simply showing up for yourselfāand that alone is a huge achievement. From there, weāll work together to build your inner confidence while maintaining the foods and routines you love. Iām here to help you discover realistic, sustainable ways to incorporate positive nutrition habits into your daily routine.
Your first session with Valerie
Our first session together will begin with us getting to know one another and building a clear understanding of your goals and how we can achieve them within your daily life. Weāll talk through your current habits, what you hope to accomplish, and any challenges you may be facing. From there, weāll dive deeper into creating a personalized plan that supports your overall well-being and enhances your nutritional healthāone step at a time.
