ABOUT OUR FUNCTIONAL DIETITIANS

Functional dietitian, Inclusive healthcare

At Couture Wellness, our team of expert functional dietitians believes every person deserves to be treated with dignity and compassion— we’re committed to providing truly inclusive healthcare.

 

We look beyond symptoms to understand your unique story—your upbringing, experiences, and the patterns they’ve shaped. Whether you're seeking intuitive eating counseling or other support from a functional dietitian, our team offers a judgment-free, personalized space built for honest conversations about your health.

 

More than a business, our team provides a haven for holistic, heartfelt care where you’re seen, supported, and empowered to live your healthiest, happiest life. 

Couture Wellness LLC's journey began way before our work in the health and wellness industry. We have always advocated for inclusivity and acceptance because we know what it feels like to live in a world where you feel different.

 

Being a part of the queer community has provided us with the ability to not only sympathize, but also empathize deeeply with patients and their health concerns.

 

Body dysmorphia and eating disorders are not uncommon amongst the LGBTQIA+ population. Having lived experience and being a part of this statistic gave us the foundation of compassion and empathy we hold deep in our values today.

From working in hospitals and long-term care facilities, our functional dietitians realized that fast-paced healthcare environments pose challenges of limited time for in-depth conversations with patients.

 

Despite the demanding workload, we made a conscious effort to spend time listening to patients' concerns. This was not out of obligation, but out of a genuine commitment to providing the attention and understanding our patients deserved. The profound gratitude we received in return only strengthened our resolve to redefine the patient-provider relationship and practice inclusive healthcare. 

We have come to recognize the barriers preventing patients from opening up, sharing their deepest concerns, and seeking the support they needed. Patients often felt uncomfortable, judged, and worried that their voices wouldn't be taken seriously. This realization fueled our desire to create a sanctuary where individuals, from all backgrounds, could feel seen, heard, and valued.

We are fueled by a passion to make a meaningful impact on people's lives.

What Our Team of Functional Dietitians Offer

We provide nutrition therapy for all ages and medical conditions from a weight-neutral perspective. We guide individuals on how to utilize intuitive eating counseling concepts as appropriate and incorporate individualized nutrition recommendations for every client.

When treating each individual, we take into consideration medical and psychological history, allergies, food preferences, lived experiences, and involve family/friends and support persons as appropriate. We are able to communicate with your medical team if this is something that you would like, or if deemed necessary for your treatment. 

We are committed to providing the highest level of care and continue to learn and grow every day as clinicians. We hope to be by your side through your unique journey to wellness, whatever that may look like for you.
