Testimonials

“I’m so grateful for the incredible support and provided by Janice in helping my daughter on her journey to recovery from anorexia. Since my daughter started college, she started dieting and excessively exercising. Her psychotherapist recommended us to seek support from Janice, since she’s one of the few Registered Dietitians who work with eating disorders AND speak/read/write Chinese.

From the very beginning, Janice created a safe and nurturing environment where my daughter felt comfortable expressing her thoughts and emotions. This allowed her to develop a trusting relationship, which was vital in her recovery process. Janice exhibited deep empathy, listening attentively and showing genuine care for my daughter's well-being. She was always available to answer my questions and calm my concerns. Through their work together, my daughter learned to challenge rigid food and body image thoughts, build a healthier relationship with food, and develop more body trust. Janice has played an instrumental role in helping her reclaim her life and find joy in everyday moments. We will forever be grateful for her expertise, compassion, and dedication.”

“Janice is a great listener and genuinely cares about her patients and clients. I did not know how much stress or mental health affects our bodies before talking to her. She encourages me to set small goals that I am able to achieve and celebrate my successes!”

— Y. Wong, Client in San Mateo, CA

"As a person of color, it’s hard to find practitioners that really “get” you. But Janice does get you. She understands how different cultures affect your eating behaviors and body image perceptions. She really cares about my whole body health and encourages me to do my best."

— W. Cuevas, Client in Chicago, IL

“The workshop about mind-body connection is eye-opening and useful for my personal wellness. Janice explains things in an easy way.”

“After getting diagnosed with diabetes this Spring, my husband required to start medications. I’m a nurse but this is not my area of expertise. I felt comfortable knowing that Janice provided her professional health teaching with respect to developing plans, potential drug interactions and side effects, especially making informed decisions that fit his needs superbly. 

Janice is compassionate, patient, very knowledgeable and accommodating to all of our queries. The open communication was most helping to my family. She took time to respond to our concerns and needs. It was inspiring to see her providing exceptional care. Her professionalism is truly admirable. For that, we are thankful.”
