I understand that life’s challenges are complex and unique to each individual. Busy schedules, limited nutrition resources, and complicated relationships with food are just some of the many factors that contribute to failed diet and lifestyle changes. I’m here to help you establish a healthy relationship with food and guide you through the connection between mind and body to accomplish your goals. I firmly believe that wellness is a dynamic process of change and growth, “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease“.
I have a passion for all things health and wellness and believe that life is about balance. I emphasize a holistic approach to health, focusing on lifestyle changes for long-term success. I have always loved food; I am Italian, and in our culture food brings people together. However, over the years, I developed a negative relationship with food. I was overweight, depressed, and not living the life I had always dreamed of. I started practicing yoga ten years ago and it helped me completely change my life. I started the practice for the physical benefits and stayed for the mental and spiritual healing. I want to help motivate you to feel the same.
I have been working as a clinical dietitian and utilizing Medical Nutrition Therapy for the past seven years. As a registered dietitian and nutritionist, I honor each patient's specific needs in order to establish an individualized plan that is both realistic and enjoyable. My recommendations are grounded in scientific evidence, while focusing on compassion, motivation, and mindfulness.
"I enjoy fostering partnerships with my patients in order to help their overall health and wellbeing. During your first session, I will take the time to learn about your nutrition goals, medical history, what you have tried in the past, what has worked and what has not, and what has been a challenge. I will provide insight on the next steps based on the information you provide. Together, we will both determine realistic short-term goals to work on before your next session."
