Hi! I'm Kathy. I specialize in helping people with CKD, diabetes, and/or other chronic medical conditions. My goal is to help people change their diets and lifestyle to ultimately delay any decline of their kidney function. After many years of working in a variety of nutrition and healthcare settings, I decided to take the leap to help the group of people that I love most - people with, and at risk for, developing CKD. I hold a bachelor's degree in therapeutic recreation and a master's degree in nutrition. I have over 25 years experience in healthcare and have worked as a dietitian for 15 years. I earned a 5-year certification as a specialist in renal nutrition in 2015. My philosophy focuses on helping people incorporate healthy food choices into daily routines and maximizing fruit, vegetable, nut, seeds, and whole grain intake. I love to provide patients with the "why" behind their needs and goals so they understand the benefits of these changes. I love to take away the fear and confusion that people often have in understanding all things related to following a diet for high blood pressure, diabetes, and kidney disease.
