About Andrea
Hello, Iâm Andreaâa Registered Dietitian (RDN), Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES), and Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) with 15+ years of experience. Nutrition changed my life: I lost 54 pounds as a kid, but that journey wasnât all positiveâI also developed disordered eating. I know how complicated our relationship with food can be, and how it feels to be stuck in that cycle. After having children, I faced the challenge of weight loss again and ultimately lost 45 pounds. Over time, I rebuilt a healthier, more balanced approach, and now I use that lived experienceâtogether with my professional trainingâto support others. I specialize in cardiometabolic healthâincluding diabetes, heart health, weight management, gut health, and overall wellness. The way I work is realistic, supportive, and rooted in evidenceâI keep it simple: no fads, no extremesâjust real life.
Approach to care
I take a holistic approach to nutrition, looking at the full picture of your health, lifestyle, and goalsâbecause wellness should work in real life, not just on paper. My style is supportive, realistic, and always personalized. Weâll start by getting clear on your goals, then build a plan that aligns with your lifestyleâusing evidence-based nutrition and habit-building strategies that actually fit into your day-to-day. Whether you're working toward sustainable weight loss, managing diabetes, improving heart health, or supporting your gut, weâll focus on what matters most to youâand make it achievable. My goal is to help you feel confident, capable, and empoweredâwith a plan thatâs sustainable, realistic, and created just for you.
Your first session with Andrea
In our first session, weâll talk about your health history, routines, and whatâs workingâor notâfor you. Weâll identify your goals, begin to work through any roadblocks, and create a realistic plan tailored to your life. Youâll leave with a clear action plan, practical guidance, and the confidence to move forward. Whether you're working on improving your health, building better habits, or just looking for supportâIâm here to help.
