About Giavana
Hello! My faith has instilled in me a deep commitment to serving others by helping them develop a healthy relationship with food and their bodies. I want to support clients in enjoying their favorite foods while achieving their health goals. I have experience working with clients on a variety of nutritional concerns, with a particular focus on intuitive eating, body image, disordered eating, and a weight-neutral approach to health. My expertise also includes managing conditions such as acid reflux, diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. In addition to being a dietitian, I am also a personal trainer dedicated to helping people find joy in moving their bodies.
Approach to care
Our current culture puts this pressure on many of us (myself included!) that your worth comes from the way you look, but I want to show people that their heart is their biggest asset. I am on a mission to help people develop a healthy relationship with food, where no foods are deemed as "good" or "bad." There is not a one-size-fits-all when it comes to our diets. Providing realistic nutrition education and incorporating small sustainable changes can make a big difference in getting you to your goals. And I will work along side you to help you reach your goals.
Your first session with Giavana
During your first session, we will get to know each other. I'd love to learn about your primary goals, healthy history, eating patterns, current lifestyle, and discuss a plan of action that is tailored to you.
