“Giordana is very personable and professional. She makes our sessions fun and enjoyable. Giordana has provided me with a lot of new information, suggestions and ideas that will help me with my weight loss journey. This information will also allow me to hopefully change my lifestyle for the better. She always notes the questions that I have and discusses them with me in our sessions. I appreciate her encouragement during this process.“

About Giordana
Hello, I'm Giordana (pronounced: Johr-daa-na) or simply G. I have been working as a dietitian since 2016. I find joy in conducting personalized counseling sessions to enhance wellness, offer education, & motivate individuals to adopt a healthy lifestyle while reducing the risk of chronic diseases. My personal experience of being diagnosed with Celiac Disease & a food allergy during my college years sparked my passion for helping others. This led me to establish Allergies Shaped My Life Foundation. As a seasoned soccer coach, I enjoy educating athletes on health & nutrition to help players excel. As a prior university scholarship athlete, I understand the demands athletes are under.
Approach to care
I take pride in providing nutritional guidance centered on balance, moderation, & catering to dietary restrictions when necessary. My approach with clients is to focus on where they are in life regarding daily habits & what they hope to achieve regarding their health, performance, & overall wellness. I am excited about the opportunity to work with you!
Your first session with Giordana
During our first session, we will talk about your health & wellness journey. This involves inquiring about your medical background, medications, allergies, dieting history, etc. & conducting a 24-hour recall to understand your daily routine. My goal is to grasp where you have been, where you are now, & where you aspire to be. I want to get an understanding of your overall well-being & how I can be of assistance along your health & wellness journey. Additionally, I want to know why you selected Nourish & how I can enhance your experience. We will establish both short-term & long-term goals to monitor progress as we embark on this journey together.
