About Yaying
Hey, this is Yaying, I also go by Elena. I help people stabilizing their blood sugar. No matter if you have pre-diabetes, diabetes, or you are just super proactive about managing your blood sugar. Meanwhile, I speak Mandarin and Cantonese, so feel free to chat in your preferred language!
Approach to care
I believe in meeting people where they are. We can have all the best goals and ideas, but if it doesn't match your lifestyle, and fit in your life routine, it will not work. I thrive to understand what are the short-term and long-term barriers stopping my clients meeting their goals, and we prioritize solving those instead of aiming for something right but not feasible.
Your first session with Yaying
At our first meeting, I would like to learn about who you are, what are your goals, how are your current lifestyle habits, what are your obstacles and resources. And then we can come up with an achievable actionable plan to work towards your goals together!
