My Nutrition Philosophy
My nutrition philosophy guides how I provide services. My philosophy includes four main components. To learn more, read about each component below!
Client centered approach
I focus on you putting your unique needs front and centre. I am committed to honoring your story and supporting your journey.
Inclusive and respectful care
Every person and body is different, and every person and body deserves respect. Everybody is welcome. It's just that simple.
Evidence-based
As a dietitian, I am a life-long learner.
The Joyful RD is committed to providing you with evidence-based advice, which means helping you figure out fact from fiction. I am also committed to dismantling weight stigma and anti-fat bias in health care.
Compassionate care
I strive to bring compassion to the table to support you. That means providing care in a way that is meaningful to you.
