About Illana
I am a registered dietitian with over 13 years of experience in longterm care, short term rehabilitation, dialysis and adult day care where I provided comprehensive nutrition support to diverse patient populations. I also spent 2 years with the WIC program, promoting maternal and child health, and over one year experience delivering medical nutrition therapy through remote counseling. My background combines clinical expertise with a client-centered approach to help individuals achieve lasting health outcome.
Approach to care
My approach to care is rooted in evidence- based nutrition, personalized guidance, and compassion. I believe food is more then fuel-its also connection, enjoyment, and key part of overall well being. I work collaboratively with each client to understand their unique health goals, lifestyle, preferences, creating realistic strategies that are sustainable long term.Rather then focusing on restriction, I emphasize balance, flexibility and building a healthy relationship with food.

We will discuss your health history, lifestyle, and nutrition goals.I will listen to your concerns, answer questions and gather key details to understand your needs.
