About Deanna
My journey began as a dancer, where I faced struggles with eating disorders and body image. Overcoming these challenges has not only made me stronger but also equipped me with valuable skills and insights. This experience has deepened my understanding and empowers me to support others in building a healthier relationship with food while finding balance, purpose, and happinessāthe true meaning of health. I hold a BA in Psychology and MS in Clinical Nutrition from the University at Buffalo, and a BS in Nutrition and Dietetics with a minor in Chemistry from Buffalo State College. As a certified yoga teacher and Zumba instructor, I integrate mindfulness and movement to promote well-being.
Approach to care
I guide clients in understanding how all foods can fit into a healthy lifestyle, helping them gain confidence in their choices and eliminate stress and guilt around food. When clients work with me, they learn to nourish and love their bodies without dieting for life. I am here to help reach your health goals from achieveing a healthy weight to diabetes management. My goal is to empower you to build confidence and make the changes youāve always wanted from chronic disease management to acheiving a healthy weight. With my unique blend of nutrition expertise and psychological insights, I take a holistic approach to support you on your health journey.
