PHILOSOPHY:
Nourit believes proper nutrition has a critical foundation for both physical and emotional well being. She recognizes that no two people are identical and that eating patterns are often shaped by a combination of both nutrition goals and desires as well as by lifestyle factors which are beyond our control. She therefore creates individualized, realistic plans for each client balancing current lifestyle factors with long term nutrition goals to achieve long term success. Her realistic approach involves continual support and encouragement, realizing that changing old habits takes time…and is worth the effort.
