Background
When one looks for a dietitian, they are looking for a partner, not a teacher. Nobody wants someone to just sit there and deliver instructions. Rather, one wants someone who is in it with them, celebrating their achievements, and working hand in hand to deliver the results that we set for ourselves.
Also, there are some people who prefer their dietitian-client relationship to be strictly business related, while there are those who look for a personal relationship in order to succeed. I am happy to say that for either of these approaches, you have come to the right address.
My name is Chaya Klahr. Dietetics has been something that has fascinated me my entire life, so someone who works with me can know in advance that this is a lifelong hobby for me, and not just a job. I studied in school for three years, and interned for another year. I graduated from the University of Alabama in 2022 with a B.S. in Human Environmental Sciences, Majoring in Food and Nutrition. I am proud to say that I graduated at the top of my class, with a GPA of 3.8. However, I feel my main way that I will be able to give over to a client is not just based on my knowledge and information. That part is essential as well. But possibly the biggest component is the ability to sift through the knowledge, and deliver the appropriate information based on the client at hand.
I also believe that personal experience is also very important to be able to relate to a client, and to help address any issues. This is whether the issue at hand is weight loss related or any other health issues. As a mother of three young children, I understand and live the battle of eating and staying healthy, yet enjoying and living life as well. My goal is that any potential diet plan should not be looked at as a burden, rather as an opportunity. One can only obtain the proper drive to succeed if they actually want it. If it's something that weighs upon a person (no pun intended), then it becomes extremely difficult to attack the goals that we are trying to accomplish. It is with these thoughts and beliefs in mind that led me to open my private practice. I look forward to personally greeting you, helping you reach your goals, and celebrating with you when you do so.

Approach
"What captivates a client, and allows them to succeed, is not just a need to lose weight or any issue. Rather, it is a drive and an enthusiasm that comes both from personal need, and from the RD's delicate yet energetic approach. When one feels they have one working with them, rather than just being led along, they then will feel the inner drive to achieve their goals and continue in their mission. I want a client to be excited to attack their goals, and to celebrate their achievements together."
