Ariana Kaminski

About Ariana

My name is Ariana and I was raised in the Catskills about 2 hours north of NYC. From a young age my relationship with food was complex. I was born a foodie, but at 12 years old, I started to experience chronic constipation, acid reflux, and reactions to foods that no doctor could explain why or how it was happening. Over the next 15 years my GI issues got worse and I had a laundry list of food items I couldn't eat. At 27 years old I was in the hospital for 3 days and diagnosed w/ Crohn's Disease. It is that point that I took my knowledge in nutrition and explored holistic practices like yoga, meditation, therapy, and working with crystals. I now have no GI or dietary issues.

Approach to care

I take a holistic, realistic, and individualized approach to the care I provide. I take into consideration your cultural background, unique upbringing, and current lifestyle preferences when creating your Nutrition Plan. I believe in making small, realistic changes to what you are already doing on a daily basis and that will set you up for the most success.

Your first session with Ariana

In our first session we will take time to get to know one another. I will ask you what your childhood was like - what type of foods you ate and who was responsible for the cooking. I will also ask what has your relationship been like with your weight status throughout your life. We will talk about feelings and emotions that arise around food and what your overall nutrition goals are and how we may best achieve them.

Education

I have my Bachelor's in Dietetics and Master's in Nutrition and Dietetics.

Hobbies

I enjoy Biking, Yoga, Cooking, and Meditation in most of my free time!
