About Alison

Hi, I'm Alison! I was originally born and raised in New Jersey and have been all over the place ever since! After completing my Masters degree and becoming a registered dietitian, I spent almost two years working as a Travel Dietitian and taking temporary jobs all over the East Coast, from New York City to Tampa, Florida. I've now settled (at least for now!) in Orlando, Florida, but I bring with me all of the experience I've gained from seeing so many different types of patients. I've mostly worked in hospitals, so I have a lot of practice with nutrition counseling for specific conditions, like diabetes or heart disease. I've also worked with patients from over a hundred years old to babies born a few months premature. Now, I want to use all of expertise to help YOU, wherever you might be in life right now.

Approach to care

I like to take a more realistic approach to nutrition where I believe every food can fit in a balanced diet. Yes, even your "guilty pleasure" snacks and treats! It's all about planning and preparation to make it as easy as possible for you to eat better and feel better, without sacrificing the things you really love. Most importantly, this will always be a judgement-free zone.

Your first session with Alison

Our first session will be all about getting to know each other. There are so many factors that influence health and nutrition, so it's important that I can really get an idea of what your day-to-day life looks like so that we can best come up with a plan that works for YOU. Of course, you can get to know me as well so that we can be comfortable talking to each other and have productive sessions going forward.
