About Alivia

Hey! My name is Alivia. I’ve been a Registered Dietitian since 2018 and earned my nutrition support certification in 2022. I've worked in the hospital setting my entire career helping people manage acute and chronic illness. My passion has shifted to disease prevention and general wellness. Nutrition can feel confusing, exhausting, and overwhelming. My goal is to make nutrition feel supportive, realistic, and empowering—not stressful or restrictive. I believe food should work with your body, not against it.

Approach to care

My approach is individualized and judgment-free, focused on what’s doable in real life. Together we’ll work on: Nourishing your body during all phases of life, creating flexible nutrition strategies for both good days and hard days, reducing stress around food and building confidence in your choices

Your first session with Alivia

Your first session is a relaxed, supportive conversation focused on understanding you and your journey. We'll talk through your healthy history, current symptoms, nutrition intake, and what feels most challenging right now. You can expect: A thorough but gentle nutrition assessment, personalized/realistic goals that fit your season of life, clear next steps you can start right away, plenty of time for questions and collaboration. You'll leave with a plan that feels manageable, supportive, and tailored to your life - no pressure, no judgement.
