About Elvira

My name is Vera, and my path into nutrition began in high school, I struggled with an eating disorder and fought a long battle with anorexia. That experience changed the way I saw food, health, and myself, and it eventually led me to seek out real, evidence-based knowledge so I could pursue my goals in a healthier, more sustainable way. Over time, learning about nutrition became more than a means to recover; it became a passion and a calling. I understand what it feels like to be overwhelmed, frustrated, and unsure where to turn when it comes to food and body image. Because of that, I bring both professional insight and lived experience to the table. Today, I’m committed to helping others move toward long-term health—physically and emotionally—without fear-based restrictions or quick fixes. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering guidance, compassion, and practical tools so that together we can build a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food and with your body.

Approach to care

Good nutrition isn't about shrinking intake. It's about achieving good health over time by learning how to regulate, adapt and sustain overall well-being. This is a lifestyle includes physical fitness- both must be included to achieve this goal-and it develops overtime. It's not fast and temporary.
