The Connective - San Francisco — Counselor in City and County of San Francisco, CA

I worked with Madison for around 3 months, and it was such a great experience. This was my first time seeing a nutritionist, and I really wanted to make sure that their approach was aligned with my value system. I have been struggling with yo-yo dieting and a negative relationship with food for my whole life. Since I started working with Madison and she introduced me to Intuitive Eating, I can honestly say that I feel freer and calmer around food than ever before. Madison is empathetic and knowledgeable, and she gives you practical takeaways and resources after each meeting. Thank you, Madison!

I have seen Kristy Crandell virtually since December of last year because I went through a lot with my health before I saw her. The way I was being treated did not work for me before her, except with the doctors at the hospital I was in during 2019. I knew she was the right person for me. She made me feel like everything I am experiencing is to be expected. She was concerned about my health and still cares to this day about it. She got me eating more food than I was and introduced me to my naturopathic doctor who has changed my life for the better. Because of Kristy, I have been on a better track with my health. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a nutritionist.

We worked with Kristy at Wellspace to help our daughter deal with some food-related issues and we couldn't be happier with the support we received. Kristy was always pleasant and positive in our interactions and it was obvious that she was extremely knowledgeable and able to provide expert guidance. She set up a system for us to help our daughter through an elimination diet that was very clear, orderly, and well supported. While we worked through this challenging exercise, Kristy always made it doable by providing recipes and resources. She even sent us things during the week like recipes that were aligned with our daughter's preferences. For example, if our daughter said she missed eating pretzels, Kristy would hunt down a great pretzel recipe and send it right away. She listened carefully to what we shared and made sure she understood our needs exactly by asking very astute and helpful questions. Kristy was very adept at looking holistically at what we were trying to do and could not only address the specific nutritional issues, but she was also able to understand and address the impact of stress and the larger context of our daughter’s daily experiences to provide an integrated solution. Furthermore, she was also very skilled at eliciting information and analyzing emerging patterns to better adjust the plan on an ongoing basis. We couldn’t have done it without Kristy and highly recommend her!

Sara helped me get my nutrition and eating habits on track. She really knows how to help people with accountability and forming of new healthy habits! Her explanations of the science affecting metabolism really helped cement my mindset to stay the course.

Love Sara Groton and her approach to working with clients! She manages to reframe things in the simplest way that not only make them stick, but make them manageable. Before, I always thought of being hungry or full on a 1-10 scale. Instead, I now see it as a -5 to 5 scale, where we should always be shooting to stay between -2 and 2. It's so much easier to visualize and understand and helps me assess with better accuracy what I'm feeling and whether or not I need that extra snack.

Jessica's presence is so warm and comforting. Her drive and compassion in the field of treating depression has created very positive change in my life and the lives of others. I thank her and Wellspace for their goodness!
