About Mikaela Hew
"This provider is not licensed in the state of CT, MA, MD, NY, IN, OK, OR, PA, TN, WA, HI, MT, IL, VT
Born in Honolulu, raised in the beautiful PNW, and now residing in Southern California, I have a deep appreciation and love for cultural, local foods. Over the last decade I have taught and competed in the fitness industry, practiced clinical nutrition in the hospital and cared for patients on home health. I obtained my master's degree from Bastyr University in 2012 with a focus on whole foods-based nutrition and attended the UC San Diego dietetic internship with a heavy clinical nutrition focus. My background in nutrition covers the span of behavioral change and preventative medicine to critical care.
Mind-body focused Registered Dietitian with a non-diet and weight inclusive approach. While I understand there is a time/place for specific medically warranted diets, I generally practice mindful and intuitive eating while seeking a deeply rooted understanding to our relationship (s) with food. We will work together to learn from a place of centeredness, capture the catalyst for nutrition changes and develop a rhythm necessary for your personal and unique lifestyle.
Each individual's reason for seeking nutrition care is personal and I want to hear your unique story. During our first session together, we will get to know one another and develop a focus for your nutrition journey. This may or may not include gathering background information around a typical day of eating and exercising along with realistic goal setting, discussing nutrition topics, providing nutrition education and/or working through our relationship with food or our bodies. Remember, this journey is unique to you, and I will meet you wherever you are at.
