Stephanie utilizes a holistic patient-centered approach to ensure her clients receive a thorough nutrition assessment and are always in the driver's seat of their own care. Using a variety of assessment tools to determine which behavioral changes are needed, she assists her clients to successfully achieve their individualized health goals. Educating clients about their health condition, cutting through the misinformation that creates confusion is one of her many strengths. Compassion and empathy are the foundation to forming trust with your health care provider. Having a connection is essential for working together on the journey to long term lifestyle change. It is important to recognize that everyone moves at their own pace. Whether you require a push to keep you motivated and accountable or work better using a softer approach, Stephanie ensures that her clients are always in control of their own care while working within their comfort zone. Stephanie designs her own education materials and recipes for her clients in order to simplify the world of nutrition while providing the tools necessary to make change easy. As a Certified Diabetes Educator and member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Stephanie has unlimited access to the latest evidence-based guidelines and current nutrition research to ensure her clients receive the best care. Educating her clients about the benefits of plant-based nutrition, showing them how to incorporate this to the best of their own abilities, taste preferences and budgets, is a major area of focus for her. Stephanie is passionate about helping people to set realistic goals and supporting them along the way to reaching long term health and wellness.
