Registered Dietitian, RD
“My theory… I believe all foods have a place in a balanced diet – the key is balance. I do not believe in good foods or bad foods (Indeed, some foods are ‘better for you than others’.) I do not encourage nor believe in depriving oneself. My focus is on nourishment; I do not believe in ‘diets.’ My focus is working with you on making small, gradual changes, and in time through a process, these changes will improve your wellbeing and quality of life.”
Catherine is an experienced dietitian, who can assist you with:
- Healthy Lifestyle Planning
