About Dana

With over 6 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian, including serving 6 years in the Army as a dietitian working with both families and active-duty service members, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every client I work with. For the past 2 years, I’ve specialized as a Performance Dietitian working with Air Force Special Operations, helping elite athletes optimize their performance through tailored nutrition strategies. As a board-certified expert in Performance Nutrition with a special focus on women’s health, pre and postnatal nutrition, lactation counseling, and weight management, I understand that every person’s journey is unique. That’s why I take a personalized approach, tailoring every nutrition plan to fit your individual needs, lifestyle, and goals. No one-size-fits-all solutions here—just practical, sustainable strategies that work for you and your family.
