Katie McKenna, BS ('03), MS ('09)

Nutrition and Clinical Health Psychology alumna


 

Bastyr University is a true pioneer. No other school in the country offers a dual master's degree in nutrition and health psychology. The curriculum, the campus and the clinic are all state of the art. After attending Bastyr, I have the tools I need to turn my passions into a way to serve my community.

Bastyr's focus on whole-foods nutrition is invaluable because whole foods support the whole person — body, mind and spirit. As a professional in the field of nutrition and health psychology, I support clients with chronic disease or weight-loss goals to improve their quality of life. I coach them to implement lasting behavioral changes through individualized nutrition education and psychological counseling.

The community at Bastyr is very supportive. I appreciated how personable and accessible the faculty and staff were. The professors truly support your success. And the physical environment is so healing. During my bachelor's studies in nutrition, as well as in my years as a graduate student, I regularly went for walks in the woods during my lunch breaks to rejuvenate and relax.
