About Ilene
Hi, I’m Ilene, a Registered Dietitian with a passion for helping people find balance and create sustainable changes that last. I specialize in weight loss and healthy habit building, and I also support clients with conditions such as PCOS, high cholesterol, diabetes, and other chronic diseases.
Approach to care
What sets me apart is that I’ve not only studied nutrition extensively, but I’ve also personally experienced the ups and downs of weight management. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to sort through all the conflicting nutrition advice out there. My goal is to simplify the process, meet you where you are, and create a plan that works for your lifestyle, not against it.
Your first session with Ilene
Whether your goals are to lose weight, manage a chronic condition, or just feel better in your own skin, I’ll help you build a flexible and realistic approach that leaves room for both health and enjoyment. Together, we’ll focus on progress, not perfection. In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know you: your health history, current habits, challenges, and goals. I want to understand not just what you eat, but also your lifestyle, preferences, and what’s realistic for you. Together, we’ll identify where you are now and where you’d like to be. By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with clear steps to start moving toward your goals. My approach is supportive and judgment-free, I’ll meet you where you are and give you practical strategies that fit into your life right away.
