About Anita

Hello, I'm Anita, a registered dietitian with extensive experience supporting patients across adult and pediatric care settings. Nutrition is personal and is not a one-size-fits-all approach. I take the time to understand your goals, challenges, and preferences and work together to build realistic and sustainable lifestyle changes. I am passionate about helping my patients succeed and achieve their goals.

Approach to care

I believe nutrition care should feel collaborative, compassionate, and practical. I take the time to understand each patient’s health history, lifestyle, culture, and goals, then build realistic plans that fit everyday life. My approach is rooted in evidence-based nutrition, patient education, and tools that empower patients to feel confident in their choices and promote long lasting healthy habits.

Your first session with Anita

Your first 60 minutes session is all about you. It's a chance for us to get to know each other, and educate me on your goals and concerns, review health history, diagnoses, and labs (if available). We will discuss what a typical day of eating looks like, review medications, vitamins, and supplements. Please feel free to bring any additional information that you would like to share. Follow-up sessions will be built into your plan, offering ongoing support, accountability, and adjustments as needed throughout your journey.
