Nutrition Made Personal, Balance Made Possible
Services
Let’s prioritize YOU!
One‑on‑one nutrition counseling offers a comprehensive approach designed to support your unique health journey. Each client begins with an initial session and assessment, where we explore your health history, lifestyle, and goals in depth. This foundation allows us to create a tailored plan that honors your food preferences, mental health and values.
What’s included:
Initial session & assessment: A thorough evaluation of your medical background, eating patterns, and personal goals.
Follow‑up sessions: Ongoing support to track progress, adjust strategies, and celebrate wins along the way.
Tailored nutrition tools: meal plan ideas, recipes, grocery lists, secure messaging for ongoing support between sessions.
Safe, collaborative space: Structure meets creativity, empowering you to build habits that feel both comforting and effective.
With individualized counseling, you’ll receive professional guidance, compassionate support, and practical tools that evolve with your needs—helping you feel confident and cared for at every step.
Wellness thrives in community.
Group sessions create a supportive space where individuals come together to learn, share, and grow. These sessions foster connection while empowering each participant to build sustainable habits.
What makes group counseling unique:
Shared learning: Explore nutrition topics together, with space for questions, discussion, and cultural food traditions.
Community support: Gain encouragement from peers who share similar goals and challenges.
Specialized groups for different needs:
Weight Management Group – build sustainable strategies for balanced eating and long-term success
Diabetes Group – learn practical tools for blood sugar management and meal planning
Heart Health Group – focus on heart-friendly foods, lifestyle habits, and prevention strategies
General Wellness Group – cultivate everyday nutrition practices for energy, vitality, and resilience
Safe, inclusive environment: Every voice is valued, and strategies are adapted to honor cultural roots and personal preferences.
Group counseling is ideal for those who want accountability, inspiration, and the energy of learning alongside others. With specialized groups, you’ll find guidance that speaks directly to your health journey—whether managing a condition or simply seeking greater confidence in your relationship with food.

Meet Your Dietitian!
Hi there! I’m Cherise, a Registered Dietitian licensed in Hawaii and Texas, and the founder of Wellness Core LLC. I believe the nutrition is deeply personal. While guidelines provide a foundation, there is no one‑size‑fits‑all approach to health. Your story, culture, and lifestyle are unique - and your care should reflect that!
I embrace the philosophy that all foods fit (and yes, I love food and have a BIG sweet tooth myself!). Together, we’ll find balance that works for your life. With a food-first approach, I honor the wisdom of Hippocrates: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” I also believe that stress management, physical activity, and overall lifestyle are essential parts of health — because wellness is more than just nutrition.
By centering nourishment at the core of wellness, I help you discover foods that fit your health needs and preferences, alongside lifestyle practices that support your whole well-being - creating balance that feels sustainable, joyful, and truly personal.
