About Deana

Hello! My name is Deana and I am a dedicated nutrition professional ready to help you change your lifestyle and achieve your goals! I have been a Dietitian for 10 years and am so passionate about nutrition and wellness. I have helped clients lose weight, get off of medication, and improve their overall quality of life. My goal is to inspire confidence in all of my clients, giving you solid nutrition advice and help, while still allowing you to enjoy good food and your life! If you are ready to start your journey today then I am here to help you!

Approach to care

My approach to care is on an individual basis. We all come from different backgrounds, and it is important to focus on the uniqueness of every client. I am also a really big proponent of the 80/20 method to nutrition where you eat 80% healthy, wholesome foods, and then allow some wiggle room for the other 20% so you can enjoy all the things you love. I have been on my own health and wellness journey for a long time, and I have found that deprivation leads to back sliding. So if you want the help of a Dietitian to meet your goals, but also want to enjoy the foods you love, then I am the Dietitian for you.

Your first session with Deana

In your first session we will review your nutrition history, what an average weekday and weekend day of eating look like to you. We will review your goals and your struggles, your strengths and your weaknesses, discuss food preferences and diet restrictions. I want to get to know you on a personal level so I can help you make real, life changing progress! Together we will come up with a few long term goals that you want to achieve, and some short-term weekly goals that you can focus on everyday to get you there. I look forward to working with you and helping you succeed!

I love to cook and bake. One of my favorite things to do is take an average recipe and make it using all whole foods. I also enjoy reading. Fantasy is my favorite genre, but I also really enjoy self improvement books! I love playing with my 3 beautiful children. For exercise I love to garden and lift weights. I play recreational tennis, and I have golfed since high school. I love being active in my community!
