Background
Hello there. I am Catherine Decker, a Registered Dietitian. Building relationships with my clients is essential. I benefit their minds, bodies, spirits, and souls.
My career has been a unique blend of nutrition and counseling. I've dedicated myself to guiding clients toward healthier eating habits and better choices while delving into behavior change with empathy. This journey led me to pursue a Master's degree in Counseling in Substance Abuse and Addictive Disorders, a decision that has enriched my practice.
For over 15 years, I have worked in the Acute Care setting. I started as an Administrative Assistant for the Director of Food Service in Upstate New York while attending a community college. I enjoyed my classes but bounced around from one major to another. I had not discovered my career passion, until I took a nutrition class and everything fell into place. I am gifted with knowledge to understand how nutrition can heal, prevent and/or control the disease process.
My passion and compassion for people allow me to go deeper spiritually with them, which inspires them to change.
When I'm not working, I'm immersed in nature, exploring new places, or engrossed in a good book. I also cherish spending time with my family and friends, and I'm actively volunteering for causes close to my heart, such as Reaching Teen Hearts, Assisting the Homeless, and Robinson Ranch.
