About Christina

I graduated from the University of Akron in 1982 with a degree in dietetics. I am happy to say that I have been learning something new everyday since then. I Began my early career in Ohio in recipe development and cooking and then moved to Nevada where I followed my investigative skills in helping people make food choices to control specific diseases ranging from high blood pressure to heart and kidney disease. All amazing experiences and interactions where I was able to help people with nutrition and lifestyle changes as well as absorb different cultures and lifestyles. Moving back to Ohio, to take care of an elderly family member, I worked with the elderly population, weight management, Bariatric surgery/weight loss and dialysis patients. We are all alike in that we have so many lifestyle and food choices to make with difficulty in making the best one. I want to share your journey to help you decide the best choice for you!

Approach to care

Each client is an individual with unique desires and needs. You are the driver and I am the passenger providing you with the maps and directions on your journey. Healthy lifestyle and food choices are uniquely made up of so many aspects of our life's, it is important that they fit into our daily routines and continue to bring us joy.

Your first session with Christina

In our first session we will get to know each other. Discuss what your goals are and what you expect from me. What steps need to be taken to meet your goals. Remember you are the driver and I am the passenger. We can review specific diets, recipes, food plans. Take a deep breath and remember this is part of the journey and I will help you through it.
