NUTRITION COUNSELING

Medical Nutrition Counseling – Ditch the Fads

Bridging the gap between science, food, and your life

Navigating today’s nutrition landscape can be daunting. Have you ever felt:

  • Overwhelmed by the countless diets and wellness advice, yearning for clarity?
  • Surprised by recent health changes even when you believed you were eating healthily?
  • Confused by the conflicting messages out there, desperately wanting a solution?
  • Ready for genuine transformation but in need of trustworthy guidance and support?

With my deep expertise in both nutrition and emotional well-being, I offer a holistic approach that goes beyond mere dietary adjustments.

Whether your aim is to reduce medication, avoid surgery, or simply better manage your condition through nutrition, I craft personalized strategies rooted in evidence and compassion. From meal planning, shopping guidance, product recommendations to curated recipes, every resource I provide is tailored to align with your specific medical needs and personal preferences.

Better health isn’t about reinventing the wheel but starting with what already works for you. As one of my clients reflected, they were surprised “at how easy it was to adjust what they were already doing.” This strengths-based approach ensures that changes feel reasonable and in sync with your lifestyle.

Your path to a successful lifestyle is paved with personalized guidance addressing what you need most. Through education, coaching, and collaboration, I offer tailored support that includes things such as meal planning, lifestyle coaching, and options for more frequent check-ins for accountability.

“My doctor gave me for months to get my cholesterol level to the normal range.

Kathleen and I methodically developed a plan involving gradual weight reduction based on sound nutrition.  After four months of meeting and putting steps into place, my cholesterol level was perfectly normal, and I felt great!

More importantly, I gained nutritional knowledge that will help me for the rest of my life.” – Sandy

​”Kathleen is a skilled and compassionate group leader. I’ve been in multiple groups facilitated by Kathleen and always appreciated the way she moved all of us through methods to connect with ourselves and one another.

I have become a better listener, communicator, and much more compassionate and skilled in the ability to take care of myself. If you have a chance to be in one of her groups, I highly recommend it.” – Lisa W.
