About Anna
Hi, my name is Anna. I am originally from Portland, OR, but have lived in many different parts of the world and love traveling! My interest in nutrition and wellness began as a teenager- I felt at war with my body and food. It led me to become a registered dietitian. I worked in Harlem, New York at a metabolic clinic for some years and obtained my diabetes education license along with certifications in teaching yoga, meditation, and somatic exercises. It took time and inner work- but eventually I could speak from a place of true wisdom and clarity. For the past 3 years, I have been counseling individuals to build self-awareness and make behavior change. I also host healing/wellness retreats in Colombia and Mexico for parts of the year - would love to help guide you in your journey! =D
Approach to care
My approach to care is based on integrative nutrition-it combines conventional nutrition interventions (blood sugar regulation, plate method, evidence based interventions) with other complementary therapies to address the root causes of our eating behavior- such as; nervous system regulation, cognitive behavior therapy, and mindfulness practices. Eventually, I want all my clients to reach a place of intuitive eating and food freedom! Each visit, we will set manageable goals to make sustainable change.
Your first session with Anna
In our first session, I will gather information and learn about you. I want to know about your eating patterns, food preferences, lifestyle, and challenges you face in reaching your health goals. I want to understand what drives you to change and what is important for you to experience or overcome. We will come up with a plan together that feels obtainable.
