I’ll help you explore the root cause of your nutrition condition, eat nourishing foods, address lifestyle boundaries so you can feel better.
Who You Are
You’re smart. You may already know about nourishing foods and have likely tried many things already. I’ll help you dig further.
You’re ready to shift to your lifestyle. You also want practical nutrition solutions to save time and energy.
Feeling actually listened to and understood is important to you.
Accountability helps to stay on track and you want this from a trusted advisor.
You want the confidence to trust your body again to digest and function without distressing symptoms.
If these statements resonated with you, I believe I understand you and have the ability to help you achieve long-lasting health.
Who I am
I’m Kristine Taylor, your registered dietitian nutritionist, certified integrative and functional nutrition practitioner and health coach. My philosophy involves looking at the whole person, using wholesome foods, functional movement, stress management techniques, functional tests and supplements (as needed) and real conversations to help clients achieve optimal health. Practical nutrition and integrative wellness solutions, one step at a time.
My training and professional work experience started 15 years ago in Boston-area hospitals. Extensive early experience in the clinical setting highlighted the importance of prevention and nutrition therapy for so many disease states. Food is medicine!
That interest in disease prevention lead me to corporate wellness, with speaking engagements and individualized nutrition counseling. As a partnership, I’ve guided my clients to live healthier lives thorough optimizing both nutrition and wellness, together.
What I Do
I help my clients restore their digestive health through the power of wholesome food, thought exploration, targeted supplementation and lab testing, stress reduction and functional movement. My approach is personalized, non-judgmental, light-hearted and always with empathy.
You’ll be able to confidently plan & prepare meals specific for your nutrition needs, adjust lifestyle habits that may be obstructing your wellness, and incorporate fun movement to live a well life. This doesn’t happen over night or in one session. It’s a health transformation.
Symbolically, we often notice the high and low tides in life (the black or white, all or nothing, etc..), but fail to acknowledge the transition and growth that lies in between. This is where the magic happens! Results arrive from the small, steady shifts and intent for continued growth.
This is what Tidewater Nutrition & Wellness is about. I offer personalized nutrition counseling with integrative wellness to give you results. Your tide is changing, my friend!
