Approach

"As a non-diet dietitian specializing in eating disorders and diabetes, I create a safe space for clients to explore their relationship with food and their bodies. I focus on personalized strategies rather than restrictive diets. My approach combines education, emotional support, and practical tools to help clients develop a peaceful relationship with food while managing health conditions. I emphasize self-compassion and celebrate all forms of progress. "
