About Carina

Hi, I'm Carina Chiodo! I believe that food should be both fuel and fun. With over seven years of experience in the nutrition field—primarily in corporate wellness and nutrition education—I’m passionate about helping people find realistic, enjoyable ways to meet their health goals. Growing up in a large Italian family, I learned early on that food is about more than just nutrients—it's also about connection and joy. My approach to nutrition counseling focuses on balance, sustainability, and empowering you to nourish your body without giving up the foods or social experiences you love. Outside of work, you’ll often find me exploring new local restaurants, taking long walks with a good podcast, or catching a stand-up comedy show.

Approach to care

I believe that healthy eating should be sustainable, realistic, and aligned with your unique lifestyle and preferences. Whether you're a busy parent, a frequent traveler, a restaurant enthusiast, or a corporate executive, I’ll meet you where you are and support you in a way that fits your life. My approach is non-judgmental, evidence-based, and grounded in Motivational Interviewing. I focus on helping you make gradual, meaningful changes—because small, consistent steps often lead to the most lasting results. Together, we’ll create a plan that feels achievable, enjoyable, and built to last.

Your first session with Carina

In our first session, I’ll take time to introduce myself and get to know you—your lifestyle, health goals, medical history, and food preferences. This helps me understand the full picture so we can create a personalized, realistic plan together. By the end of the session, we’ll identify a few actionable nutrition goals for you to focus on before we meet again. In follow-up sessions, we’ll check in on your progress, troubleshoot any challenges, and continue building on what’s working—always with practical, achievable steps tailored to your needs.
