KATE’S STORY

With a background in psychology and a desire to help people, Kate was searching for the next step in her career. She had always been drawn to science and health, and after seeing both the powerful impact nutrition can have and the overwhelming amount of conflicting information surrounding it, she decided to return to school to better understand the truth about nutrition. What she discovered is that nutrition is both more complex and simpler than it often seems. Food can be a powerful tool for improving health, but it is also a source of joy, comfort, and connection. Kate believes the best nutrition plan is one that nourishes the body, supports overall well-being, and still leaves room for enjoyment and flexibility.

APPROACH

Kate works collaboratively with clients and their care teams to support lasting health improvements through nutrition. She believes a nutrition plan should fit into a client’s life — not the other way around. Everyone has unique goals, preferences, and ways they like to eat, which is why she focuses on creating individualized plans that are realistic and sustainable. Kate emphasizes the least restrictive approach possible, focusing on meeting nutrient needs, building healthy habits, and adding nourishing foods rather than relying on rigid rules or restriction. She also works with elimination diets and food sensitivities, using thoughtful and inclusive strategies to help clients identify triggers while maintaining as much variety and flexibility as possible.

SPECIALITIES

Kate works with both adolescents and adults on a wide range of nutrition and wellness goals. She has experience supporting athletes with sports nutrition and especially enjoys working with people in midlife who are looking to move away from diet culture and find a more sustainable, manageable approach to health. Her areas of focus include anti-inflammatory nutrition, blood pressure and cholesterol management, chronic disease prevention, autoimmune conditions, and overall lifestyle support. Kate’s goal is to help clients use nutrition to improve both their health and quality of life in a way that feels realistic and maintainable.

WHY NUTRITIONAL THERAPY

Everyone eats, but finding a way of eating that truly supports your health and lifestyle can feel overwhelming. Kate helps clients develop nutrition plans that help them feel their best while supporting the prevention or management of chronic disease. Working with a Registered Dietitian can improve not only physical health, but also your relationship with food by creating a more balanced, sustainable, and personalized approach to nutrition.
