I absolutely love going to these appointments! Kendra is so caring and thoughtful and truly wants the best for you. I would totally recommend for any nutrition or dietary needs
I have been working with Kendra for several months and I feel so lucky that we were connected. She has helped me navigate how to nourish myself during cancer treatment, shared recipes that take my very specific food allergies and preferences into account, and has given me helpful tips to manage emotional eating during very stressful times. She is an educator and a collaborator. I am so grateful for what she has taught me and continues to teach me. Not to mention her gentle reminders to prioritize self-compassion. She has been there for me in more ways than I thought possible.
I have been working with Kendra for a couple of months and she has provided me with wonderful tools and insights to help me in my nutrition journey. As a T2 diabetic, I appreciate her experience and perspective having worked in a diabetes clinic for several years. She is also helping me meet my dietary goals as a diabetic athlete. Kendra is very personable, professional, knowledgeable and great to work with. Highly recommend!
I cannot recommend Kendra highly enough; working with her over the past month has been a truly phenomenal experience! She has proven to be the most attentive, encouraging, and caring dietitian I have ever had. What stands out the most is her approach to the whole person, considering all the different aspects of your life to support your health. She brings immense insight and knowledge to every session, and I appreciate how she checks in between appointments and consistently provides valuable guidance. Whether you are feeling completely stuck or uncertain about your next steps, she has a wonderful way of meeting you where you are and helping you move forward in a space that feels entirely safe and nonjudgmental. I am incredibly grateful for her support!
My teen son has been working with Kendra, and she has been absolutely wonderful. She’s knowledgeable, supportive, and truly understands how to connect with teenagers in a way that feels encouraging rather than overwhelming. Her guidance has already made a noticeable difference in his confidence and his relationship with food and body. We’re really grateful for her care and expertise — highly recommend!
