About Me
Pearl's interest in nutrition started with a challenge. Since a young age, Pearl learned to pay attention to ingredients of different dishes to make sure they are free of her allergies. The interests expanded when she travelled oversea and noticed different food labels, and each country has unique approaches to ensure food safety and promote healthy foods. With those experiences and insights, her interests turned into an academic passion which led her to become a Registered Dietitian with Public Health background. Furthermore, she completed training in Motivational Interviewing and obtained the certificate in Health and Wellness Coaching. It allows her to recognize patients' values and preferences, and together with her multicultural background, she is able to provide realistic and applicable recommendations.
