Ava Fasano

About Ava

I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) with a background in both pediatric and adult nutrition. I support individuals with diabetes care, weight management, heart health, and overall wellness. I look forward to working with you through a personalized and supportive approach.

Approach to care

My philosophy is to make nutrition realistic, flexible, and empowering- helping you reach your goals while still enjoying the foods and activities you love. It is important to me that our sessions are patient centered, so I usually will ask if there is anything I should be aware that you have been working on, if there is anything specific you would like to work on, and what I can help you with. This will help to ensure you participate in shared decision making throughout the entire process.

Your first session with Ava

In our first session, we’ll focus on your story- your routine, health goals, and what’s worked (or hasn’t) in the past. I really would like to get to know you well during our first session. I’ll listen first, then we’ll work together to create a realistic plan to get you started.
