About
Erica is a Registered Dietitian and a Certified Specialist in Obesity and Weight Management who is passionate about assisting people through their health and wellness journeys in a safe and understanding environment. She is also training for her Certification as a Digestive Health Specialist. Erica's goal is to help clients cultivate a positive relationship with food, enjoying it while also meeting their nutritional needs and aligning with their lifestyle.
Approach to Care
Erica's approach revolves around patient-centered care because she believes that food is a deeply personal matter, and a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works for most individuals. She firmly believes that all foods have their place on our plates, and by collaborating together, she and her clients can develop a personalized eating plan that seamlessly fits into their everyday life. Through this process, clients can create strategies that will help them achieve their goals and maintain them for a lifetime. Erica is a firm advocate for shifting the common perspective around food - categorizing it as “good” or “bad” to understanding how it can help us feel our best.
What to Expect
In your initial session with Erica, she will focus on getting to know more about your health background, goals, and about all the things that make you, you. This will be a judgement free and relaxed environment where a client can get into the forward thinking mindset and begin or continue their health journey starting on the right foot.
