Your first session with Alexandra

Think of our first session as meeting a friend for the first time—a relaxed and welcoming conversation over a cup of tea or coffee, maybe even with your favorite pan dulce or snack in hand. This is a space where you can feel comfortable sharing your story, your relationship with food, and your health goals without judgment. I want to get to know you—the foods you love, your current lifestyle, your cultural traditions, and any health concerns or medical history that may be important. This helps me provide personalized, compassionate care that supports your unique needs while celebrating the flavors and foods that bring you joy. It’s all about connection, understanding, and setting the foundation for a nutrition plan that truly works for you.
