About Diane

Hi, I'm Diane! I'm a registered dietitian with years of professional experience in surgical and non-surgical weight loss and nutrition counseling. Food is medicine and nutrition deeply impacts health and well-being, which I have seen firsthand in my husband who lives with Type 1 Diabetes. As a first-time mom, I have a newfound appreciation for people's time and energy and believe that nutrition should be approachable and enjoyable in order to be sustainable. I look forward to meeting you where you are, developing a nutrition plan that is tailored to your needs, and supporting you in achieving your nutrition goals.

Approach to care

My approach to nutrition care is collaborative, patient-centered, and evidence-based. I lead all sessions with empathy and understanding, help you discover your "why", and empower you to adopt and maintain nutrition and lifestyle changes. I emphasize progress over perfection and will help you develop realistic short and long-term goals. I'm here to encourage you and celebrate the little wins, the big milestones, and everything in between!

Your first session with Diane

The goal of our first session is to understand your unique nutrition story. We will discuss your medical history, daily life, typical intake, food preferences, and I'll answer any questions you have. Together, we will create a personalized nutrition plan with clear short-term goals and actionable steps. By the end of our first session, you'll feel prepared and supported to start making positive changes!
