More about Elle
What is one thing you would want patients to know about you?
I believe in nutrition care that is personal and individualized. I have an empathic counseling style that does not involve generic instruction, because everyone’s journey is different. I fight against weight-bias and ensure to provide a welcoming, non-judgmental environment.
How do you go about making your treatment plans for Form Health patients?
I like to get to know patients by asking (many) questions and intently listening to replies. I consider your strengths and struggles to tailor treatment recommendations to your lifestyle and help increase your chance of success.
Why do you love working with Form Health patients?
I love that we meet more frequently compared to an in-office setting, and that we can easily communicate between appointments. I’ve enjoyed meeting every patient and I look forward to meeting more in the future!
