Shannon Tokarski, RD
Background
Approach to care: Understanding that each person’s journey is unique, I tailor nutrition plans to suit individual needs, providing not only nutritional guidance but also emotional support. I create a safe space for open communication. I take the time to understand each person's goals, concerns, and challenges, fostering trust and collaboration.
What to expect at your first session: I like to ask questions to understand you as the individual. I ask comprehensive questions without judgement. Then, we move to short and long term goals. We can update your goals in any additional session we may have! Prior to ending our session, we will review what was discussed, making sure you feel heard. If I feel you may benefit from additional outside help, we can navigate that together.
Education: Michigan State University Bachelor of Science in Dietetics; Central Michigan University Master of Science in Dietetics
Hobbies: Traveling with my family, watching my teen boys play sports, playing with my two dogs (Sheltie and Pug/Lab mix), reading, music, watching motor racing
