"Hi, I’m Charlene! With over 10 years of experience as a Health Coach & Nutritionist, I specialize in helping adults achieve their wellness goals and/or lose excess weight without sacrificing their mental health in the process. My journey into health coaching began with my own struggles. Before I healed my relationship with food, I used to find myself stuck in a cycle of restrictive eating, only to be overwhelmed by guilt when I couldn’t follow through on strict food rules. The constant battle of willpower led to frustration and unhealthy habits. Can you relate? I realized that true balance and control over my eating habits required a different approach. That’s why I pursued a bachelor’s degree in Nutrition & Dietetics from the University of Rhode Island and continue my education in mindset and behavior change techniques. This knowledge allowed me to heal my relationship with food, and now I use the same approach to help my clients find food freedom. In my career, I’ve worked with hundreds of adults, supporting them in reaching their weight loss goals and managing chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension. My philosophy is rooted in a holistic approach—where nutrition, exercise, mindset, and lifestyle habits come together to create lasting change. My mission is to help you feel empowered in your health journey, more comfortable in your body, and equipped with the tools you need for lifelong wellness. I look forward to being your guide and helping you achieve sustainable, positive changes!"
