About Bella
I have a passion for helping people tune into their hunger and fullness cues, build a positive relationship with food, and use nutrition as a tool for overall wellness. I believe food is the thing that connects us, and I love guiding clients toward sustainable, balanced eating habits. When I'm not working with clients, I'm enjoying the southern California sunshine where I've spent most of my life—whether it's swimming in the ocean, biking, walking, or trying out new restaurants. Finding the best matcha latte in whichever city I'm in has also been a hobby of mine. I’m excited to be part of the Nourish team and look forward to supporting you on your wellness journey!
Approach to care
My approach is centered in listening and understanding before searching for solutions. I focus on gathering information using open-ended questions while guiding my clients to possible remedies. I find it essential to simplify the steps to a patient's goal and break it down session by session. I believe setting achievable goals empowers a client to further pursue their nutrition journey! Above all else, I value the honesty of a client so that, together, we can establish sustainable, realistic changes for longterm success.
Your first session with Bella
In our first session, building trust and a sense of comfortability is my objective. Throughout the session, we will begin to understand what changes or goals you have and what my role will be in helping you achieve them over the next several sessions. I believe the first session is the foundation for productive change that can only be achieved with complete transparency from both the client and myself!
