Kathryn Girard

Kate Girard is a Registered Dietitian with a Masters degree in Health Science (MHS) and extensive training and experience with maternal and child health, lactation, pediatric nutrition, and generally working with food and/or nutrition insecure individuals. Her motivation to become a dietitian, however, was due to a significant family history with heart and metabolic disease so she has a real passion for prevention of chronic disease using nutrition and lifestyle modifications with people of all ages in her current practice.

Kate is highly motivated to understand your "why" and how it fits within the context of your life and family history. Getting to know one another, building trust, and providing space for open communication is key to determining what steps are both sustainable and will help you reach your goals.

The first session is a lot of 'getting to know you', and laying the groundwork for working together. Kate will ask a lot of questions, provide some information about the process of working with an RD at Nourish, and we will also ensure any of your questions are addressed and some initial goals/steps are identified.
