My approach to care

My care philosophy is to empower women to create healthy patterns in their own lives, which will end up benefiting the whole family. I became a Registered Dietitian because I was fascinated by the complexity of human biochemistry and neurology, and the way they interact with the foods and beverages that we consume. Good nutrition can become a powerful force in our lives, yet it can be very difficult to due to our entrenched habits and the emotional connections that we have with foods. It is important to be gentle with ourselves and our clients when we/they work on making these life-affirming changes in our lives.

Something you might not know about me

Something you might not know about me is that I like to sing, especially when under stress. A few years ago I learned how to sing a popular Disney song in Spanish. My favorite song right now is Unchained Melody.
