About Katy
Hi! I'm Katy, a Board Certified Specialist in Oncology Nutrition with over 10 years of experience in nutrition and wellness. I developed a love for food early in life, where my parents taught me how to prepare meals using ingredients from our garden and the importance of being kind to our environment. Some of my fondest memories involve playing in the kitchen. When not at work, you will find me exploring NYC's concrete jungle in search for the next best food with loved ones, writing poetry, and riding my bike.
Approach to care
My coaching style is tailored to different backgrounds focusing on what works for you, whether it is based on your busy lifestyle, cost-effective alternatives, or your preferred ethnic cuisine while being mindful of our impact on the environment. I have successfully helped clients enhance their nutritional well-being and guided them on the path to alleviating chronic conditions that medications alone could not.
Your first session with Katy
My approach draws on empathetic listening with a focus on nutrition care that is customized to your goals and needs. During our first session, I will gather some baseline information such as anthropometrics, labs (if available), medical history and eating / lifestyle habits and provide a few tips based on the information obtained to get you started on reaching your goals.
