About Yik Han
I am Rachel, a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. I have 9 years of experience in an acute care clinical setting and provided care for patients with wide variety of health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, oncology, and kidney disease. My experience as an inpatient dietitian has deepened my understanding of the crucial role nutrition plays in overall health. This has further inspired me to help others optimize their health through tailored dietary guidance.
Approach to care
I take a nonjudgmental and client-centered approach to help you achieve your health and wellness goals. My focus is on guiding and motivating you through each step of your journey, offering evidence-based recommendations tailored to your unique needs. By working together, I strive to create a supportive environment where personalized care is at the forefront, ensuring that you feel empowered and confident in making lasting changes for your well-being. My goal is to provide the tools, guidance, and support necessary for you to succeed on your path to better health.
Your first session with Yik Han
During our first session together, my main objective is to learn as much as possible about you. We will have an open conversation about your diet, current health concerns, and any specific goals you wish to work on. Through this discussion, we will collaborate to establish realistic, achievable goals that are meaningful to you. By understanding your unique needs and priorities, we can create a plan that focuses on the areas you want to improve, ensuring we are aligned in working towards your desired outcomes. This session is the foundation of building a personalized approach tailored to your wellness journey.
