ABOUT
Hi there! I'm Kathy, a registered dietitian and yoga teacher. My passion for wellness started early, driven by a lifelong interest in athletics—I played competitive volleyball through college—and a fascination with how physical activity impacts health. In college, a nutrition course opened my eyes to the powerful role food plays in total well-being. That discovery led me to complete a degree in Exercise Science and pursue further education to become a Registered Dietitian.
I took my first yoga class in high school PE and was intrigued by it from the start. I continued practicing on and off through college, and eventually became a certified yoga teacher. Over time, I’ve come to see just how deeply connected nutrition and movement are—and how together, they can nurture not just the body, but also mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness.
Through my education in nutrition and yoga, I discovered how intertwined they are and how having a regular practice of both can impact not only physical health but mental emotional and spiritual health as well.
In addition to working with individuals and families, I spent several years managing the employee wellness program at a large global manufacturing company. In this role, I collaborated closely with internal teams including Communications, Human Resources, Environmental Health, Safety & Sustainability (EHS&S), and Benefits. I had the unique opportunity to engage with both frontline employees and senior leadership, shaping initiatives that supported holistic well-being across the organization. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for how wellness can be woven into the fabric of a workplace and the lives of those within it.
Since becoming a parent, I’ve discovered a new passion: helping families thrive through simple, nourishing choices. The media is filled with confusing messages about food, especially for families. I focus on helping people enjoy the foods they love—without guilt or shame—and find joy and confidence in the process.
My goal is to bring a sense of freedom and joy into eating delicious food while keeping it simple, fun, and fulfilling for both the body and the soul.
Connect with me…
I love to chat on social media (I use Instagram the most @kathys_mindful_moments) or send me an email with questions you might have.
My food philosophy…
I do not teach counting, measuring, weighing, or portioning foods. There are no food rules—just simple mindfulness techniques that fit your personal and unique lifestyle. It’s my goal to give you the tools you need to make informed food choices that make you feel happy and healthy.
Three main guidelines I follow and recommend:
1) Start from a place of compassion.
Self love is the key. When you initiate any practice or routine from a place of love and compassion, you end up enjoying the journey much more. Instead of fighting against your body, take some rest and allow nutritious foods to flood your cells and nourish you from the inside out.
2)There is room for all foods.
Although I specialize in plant-based and vegan foods, it is not the only lifestyle I recommend. I am a firm believer in making all foods work. Depending on your unique lifestyle and needs, we will work together to find what fits your needs best.
3)Health is more than just healthy eating and exercise.
While these two factors are two main pillars of health and longevity, they are by no means the only ones. Mental, spiritual, and social health are just as important. Working with other health professionals to cover this entire spectrum will put you into the best trajectory to achieving your ultimate well-being.
