Hi I'm Cathy and I am a Registered Dietitian and Yoga Instructor. I was born and raised in northern Arizona where I was heavily influenced by sports and my parents love for food. I attended the University of Arizona, in Tucson,Arizona and David Lipscomb University, in Nashville, Tennessee to receive all my nutrition credentialing. I have been privileged to work in both the hospital & a behavioral health and substance use treatment center over the last 20 years. My nutrition counseling is influenced by evidence based science, my struggles and triumphs through this crazy beautiful life, and the years of sitting with my clients (people can teach you a lot). And yes, as written above, I am a yoga teacher for a treatment center, thus this also melds into my counseling (no we won't break out into tree pose but I will bring in the philosophy).
"My mission is to provide a judgement free space and partner with my clients as we navigate individual health goals so that you can be your best self as well as have a great quality of life. I lean towards being a nondiet RDN with focus on listening to your body (or learning to reconnect and trust it again) & finding balance between foods to nourish as well as foods for pleasure. Your can expect to feel heard and to come away feeling confident in a realistic and sustainable plan."
