Approach
"As a mom of two pre-teens boys and three rescue dogs, Denice understands how chaotic the home environment can be! Denice takes time to fully understand her patients time constraints, assess their preferences for meal prep and works with individuals dislike of cooking! Not one person is the same, therefore not one person gets the same intervention ."
