About Elena
My name is Elena and I am a passionate dietitian to help you reach your goals whether it may be weight loss, disease management, weight gain, or just overall living a healthy lifestyle. I have experienced restrictive dieting all the way to binging. I became interested in nutrition and becoming a dietitian once I realized how strong nutrition plays a role in a person's wellbeing.
Approach to care
I use evidence-based, mindful approach to care. I believe that nutrition is not a one size fit all, I want to find each person their own version of health. I use motivational interviewing and leave most of the conversation up to the client so their diet is tailored to them. I aspire to help clients build a healthy relationship with food while obtaining their goals.
Your first session with Elena
I expect to get to know you, and you should expect to get to know me as well. You should also be able to discuss any medical history, lab history, medication history, diet history, be able to explain your relationship with food, your health goals, what you expect to gain from seeing a dietitian. Then we can put together a game plan to reach your goals!
