About Dajana
With extensive experience in clinical and private practice settings, I have worked with diverse populations and conditions, including chronic diseases, weight management, and disordered eating. My passion lies in guiding clients towards sustainable, lifelong changes through a realistic and intuitive eating approach. I believe in empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions and build a healthier relationship with food. My goal is to support you in achieving balance and well-being that fits your lifestyle.
Approach to care
My approach to care is evidence-based, ensuring that recommendations are grounded in the latest research and tailored to your unique needs. I prioritize your autonomy, recognizing that YOU are the expert on your body and lifestyle. Together, we will create a plan that aligns with your goals, preferences, and values.
Your first session with Dajana
During our first session, we will discuss your health history, current eating habits, and any specific goals or concerns you have. I will assess your nutritional needs and collaborate with you to create a personalized plan to help you reach your goals. You'll leave with practical strategies and resources to start making meaningful changes.
