In 2016 I became a Certified Focusing Professional and Trainer. I find Focusing refreshingly uplifting as a registered dietitian/nutritionist (RDN), certified diabetes care and education specialist (CDCES), and national board-certified health and wellness coach (NBC-HWC). This is because the process does not devalue science related to nutrition or how people are with food, while offering much more. Since 2015, I've introduced Focusing-oriented nutrition counseling to dietetic and wellness professionals by collaborating and presenting training modules, live lectures, webinars, and poster presentations.
