OUR APPROACH
Nutrition Doesn't Have To Be Intimidating. It Has To Be Practical.
Personalized Meal Plans
Based on your lifestyle, activity level, likes/dislikes, health status, and food intolerances/allergies, I will devise a realistic meal plan and sample menu to help you achieve your goal weight and health objectives.
Pantry and Fridge Makeovers
We will go through your pantry and fridge (together) to identify foods that can be substituted or upgraded to get you on your path to a heart-healthy, anti-inflammatory, balanced diet.
Diagnosis-Focused Education
Newly or previously diagnosed with a health condition such as IBS, (Pre)Diabetes, High Cholesterol, or high blood pressure? I will help you navigate the nutritional path to manage your condition.
What is Nutritional Lifestyle Design?
Medical Nutrition Therapy That Works With Your Goals
Nutritional Lifestyle Design is about matching your food preferences and routine with a balanced eating plan. I take into consideration your comfort level in the kitchen, your physical activity, and your health when devising your plan. It’s a simple concept but there is no one size fits all approach.
I am passionate about Nutritional Lifestyle Design because I know it improves your health—both mental and physical. I absolutely love seeing positive changes in my clients. I celebrate seemingly minor accomplishments with them, as these lead to major benefits in the long run.
Make yourself a priority. Taking care of you helps ensure that those around you are well cared for, as well. I live by that philosophy and it is one I try to impart on each of my clients.
I received my Master’s and Bachelor’s Degrees in Human Nutrition from the University of Maine, and I’ve been practicing as a Registered Dietitian for (gasp) 17 years. My career has been heavily clinical, and focused in pediatrics, but in the recent years, my scope has expanded to include mostly outpatient counseling. My family moved back to my home state of Maine 4 years ago. I saw the need for this type of practice and started Nourish Me Well.
