Background
Hello, my name is Takayo. I believe nourishing food supports both physical health and emotional well-being. With over 18 years of clinical experience as a DTR, I also bring my experience as a yoga teacher to my work, taking an integrative and mindful approach to nutrition. I enjoy helping clients create practical eating habits that support gut health, stable energy, and long-term well-being. My counseling style focuses on sustainable lifestyle changes rather than restrictive diets. I work with clients to build realistic routines that fit their daily life, culture, and personal health goals. Originally from Japan, I appreciate the wisdom of traditional food cultures that emphasize harmony, simplicity, and seasonal whole foods. Outside of work, I enjoy practicing yoga with my community, spending time in nature with my family, and sharing mindful cooking with my friends. My goal is to help each client develop a healthier, more joyful relationship with food while creating habits that support long-term vitality and harmony.
