Michele Goldfine's style
💙 Warm 🙌 Affirming 🤝 CollaborativeWhy Michele Goldfine chose to be in the helping profession
I have always been drawn to the helping profession, but it wasn't until I discovered my passion for supporting individuals in their relationship with food that I knew I had found my calling. For many people, food can be a source of stress, anxiety, and shame. As someone who believes in the power of food to nourish the body and soul, I am dedicated to helping people create a positive and peaceful relationship with what they eat.
Through my work, I have seen firsthand the profound impact that a healthy relationship with food can have on someone's life. By working with clients to break free from restrictive diets, negative self-talk, and harmful beliefs about their bodies, I have witnessed incredible transformations. People who once felt trapped by their relationship with food are now free to enjoy all aspects of their lives, without the burden of constant worry and obsession.
For me, there is no greater joy than helping someone find true and lasting freedom in their relationship with food. I believe that everyone deserves to feel empowered and in control of their health and well-being, and I am committed to supporting my clients on that journey. As a helping professional, I am grateful for the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of others, and I look forward to continuing to do so for many years to come.
Michele Goldfine's approach
As a registered dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, I am dedicated to helping individuals who struggle with eating disorders, disordered eating, and chronic dieting. My ultimate goal is to empower my clients to live a healthier, more fulfilling life, free from the burden of food obsession and restriction.
I am deeply passionate about improving people's relationship with food, movement, and their bodies through a weight-neutral and compassionate approach. This means that we will focus on cultivating healthy behaviors rooted in self-care, rather than restriction or deprivation. I believe that everyone deserves to have a positive and nurturing relationship with food, and that a one-size-fits-all approach simply does not work.
If you are tired of feeling consumed by thoughts about food and dieting and are ready to embark on a journey towards true self-care and nourishment, I would be honored to work with you. Together, we will explore your individual needs and preferences, and develop strategies that work for you and your unique situation. With my guidance and support, you can break free from the cycle of dieting and finally start living the life you deserve.
What you can expect from sessions with Michele Goldfine
As a nutritionist, I strive to create a warm, open, and non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe and supported. During our initial session, I take the time to get to know you, your unique relationship with food and your body, and any relevant medical history. This allows me to better understand your needs and goals, and to develop a personalized plan of action that works for you.
Together, we will work on developing strategies that are tailored to your specific needs and goals. Some of the areas we may focus on include honoring hunger and fullness cues, learning how to create balanced meals and snacks that sustain you throughout the day, and challenging any negative beliefs or food rules that may be holding you back. Additionally, I have expertise in disease prevention and management, such as high cholesterol and pre-diabetes.
To help you achieve your goals, I use a variety of evidence-based modalities, including medical nutrition therapy, intuitive eating, mindfulness, behavior change, and aspects of acceptance and commitment-based therapy. By using these techniques, I can help you create lasting changes that will support your health and well-being for years to come.
My ultimate goal is to help you develop a healthy and sustainable relationship with food and your body so that you can live your life to the fullest.

As your nutritionist, I am dedicated to providing individualized care that is tailored to your specific needs and experiences. Whether you are looking to manage a specific health condition or simply improve your overall well-being, I will work with you to develop a plan that fits your lifestyle and preferences.
I believe that everyone deserves to have access to high-quality nutrition care, regardless of their background or beliefs. I am committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where all individuals can feel supported and empowered to make positive changes in their lives.
