About Gina

Hello! I'm Gina, a licensed and registered dietitian located in Pennsylvania. My love for cooking brought me back to school to pursue a Master's degree in nutrition, where I specialized my studies in Maternal and Pediatric Nutrition. When I'm not in the kitchen, I am playing with my son, or working part-time at the local hospital in clinical dietetics! Previously, I worked as a research exercise physiologist in weight management and aging clinical trials. I am passionate about a holistic health approach, including exercise, sleep, and mental health. Fun Fact: My husband and I are expecting our second child in May!

Approach to care

I have a weight-neutral approach to nutrition management. I understand weight can be a sensitive subject! I like to look at other biometric data such as lab work, time spent exercising and sleeping to gauge your overall health and set goals for improvement.

Your first session with Gina

We will dive into your day-to-day eating habits, preferences, and discuss your nutrition and health goals. The more I can learn about you, the better I can help! Expect to receive personalized nutrition advice with at least 2 clear goals we set together to move forward. Have your calendar handy to schedule follow-up appointments, as this is truly the best way to see results!
