“Michelle is nice and very knowledgeable. She always helps me to find a “win” from my goals, but she still holds me accountable. She finds new solutions based on what I’m dealing with. She has helped me determine how to eat to lower my A1C, get out pre-diabetes range, and get my cholesterol in the correct range. She has taught me how to use the plate method to portion my meals correctly. We set goals for exercise, eating, and ways to manage stress and sleep. If we find that those goals are not working, due to my schedule or injury, we adjust. When we notice that I am doing well with my goals, we decide whether to leave them the same so I can achieve consistency or whether to increase them. Michelle listens to my needs and I appreciate working with her. ”

I’ve been working with my dietitian for almost 2 years now, and she has been such an important part of my journey. She is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and understanding. With her guidance and support, I’ve lost about 30 pounds. What I appreciate most is how patient and encouraging she is through all the frustrations that can come with weight loss, lifestyle changes, and consistency. She always helps me keep things simple, realistic, and sustainable so I can continue moving forward on my journey. 10/10 highly recommended
