About Nicole
Hi there, my name is Nicole! A bit about me is that I made the leap from sunny Hawaiʻi to the beautiful state of Oregon about five years ago and haven’t looked back (rain jacket and all)! I earned my Master's in Human Nutrition and love helping people make healthier food choices that actually fit their lives. When I’m off the clock, you’ll find me wandering around the outdoors, experimenting in the kitchen, or binge-watching a netflix series. I’m all about making nutrition simple, enjoyable, and something you can truly look forward to. If you have type 2 diabetes, that’s my jam — and I can help you regulate your blood sugar through diet and lifestyle changes while your PCP adjusts medications as needed.
Approach to care
Think of this as your personalized 9 to 12 week wellness journey! Each session will be 55 minutes, so there will be a lot of time for us to talk through things. I’m a big believer in adding more goodness to your plate instead of obsessing over what to remove. Think less restriction, more intention. My approach to nutrition is all about balance, positivity, and finding foods you truly enjoy....because taking care of yourself shouldn’t feel like a punishment! Our sessions will take on a collaborative approach. Each session, we’ll set small, doable goals that move you steadily toward your bigger, long-term vision. No overwhelm — just small, realistic steps that build on each other. And you won’t be doing it alone. I’ll be right there with you every step of the way, supporting you, adjusting as needed, and celebrating the wins (big and small)! Think of this as your personalized 9 to 12 week wellness journey!
Your first session with Nicole
When we first meet, our time together will be all about YOU! I want to learn about your lifestyle, habits, preferences, and goals before diving into any nutrition advice. It's important to me that we build a relationship based on trust, understanding, and empathy. I believe that nutrition is personal, and before we get into any education, I want to understand you and what feels right for your life. Let's work together to tackle your goals, one step at a time, because progress matters more than perfection!
