About Yi-Chieh
Hi! I am Yi-Chieh. I also go by Erica. Originally from Taiwan and raised in South Africa, I bring a diverse cultural background that informs my approach to my work. My experiences of connecting with people from different cultures have instilled in me a strong sense of empathy and an open-minded perspective towards understanding others’ experiences. Previously, I worked in a hospital food service operation, where I discovered my passion for building meaningful relationships and supporting individuals in achieving their goals.
Approach to care
As a registered dietitian, I focus on promoting wellness by helping individuals build a healthy relationship with food. My approach is rooted in partnership, working closely with clients to create personalized plans that fit into their lives while fostering adaptability and resilience to navigate life’s changes. I incorporate culinary education and food science to show how cooking methods can make meals both nutritious and delicious. My goal is to equip clients with the tools to take control of their health and make informed choices.
Your first session with Yi-Chieh
In our first session, I will take time to get to know you better and understand your lifestyle, habits, and preferences. By discussing your health goals, we’ll work together to identify areas of focus. From there, we will develop a personalized plan that incorporates small, sustainable changes to what you're already doing, helping you make steady progress toward your goals.
