About Claudia

With a diverse background in adult inpatient clinical care, K-12 school nutrition, culinary nutrition, and community nutrition, I am passionate about promoting a healthy lifestyle across the lifespan. I am excited to support and meet you where you are as you embark on this journey. I understand our complex relationship with food and its profound impact on various aspects of our lives. I am committed to creating an engaging, personalized nutrition program that inspires positive change and encourages lifelong health.

Approach to care

My approach to care centers around enhancing your quality of life! By focusing on behavior change, the keys to lasting, sustainable nutrition and health lie in consistency, patience, intuition, and commitment. Together, we’ll explore what moderation means for you, enabling us to create sustainable lifestyle changes that seamlessly integrate into your daily routine. I recognize that nutrition is deeply personal, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution. I am eager to collaborate with you to define what nutrition and health look like for you!

Your first session with Claudia

Your first session will be a collaborative experience focused on understanding your unique needs and establishing a foundation for your journey toward a healthier relationship with food and your body! We will use this time to get to know each other, particularly regarding your interests, nutrition goals, lifestyle, eating habits, relationship with food, and medical history. We will conclude the session by setting some short-term and long-term goals and creating a plan, guided by your pace, to support lasting change.
