About Jelena

I’m a registered dietitian with over 5 years of clinical experience helping adults achieve sustainable weight loss and long term health. I hold a master’s degree in nutritional science and am a board certified specialist in obesity and weight management (CSOWM), with advanced training in evidence based weight care. I help clients lose weight without extreme dieting, guilt, or all or nothing thinking. My approach is warm, non judgmental, and realistic, with a strong focus on habits you can maintain for life. As both a clinical dietitian and a university professor of food science, I prioritize education and practical strategies that fit into your real life. In our first session, we’ll review your health history and goals and create a clear, personalized plan so you can move forward with confidence and consistency. If you’re ready for supportive, sustainable weight management, I’d love to work with you.

Approach to care

My approach to care is empathetic, non judgmental, and grounded in evidence based nutrition. I take the time to truly listen so you feel heard, supported, and understood. Together, we break goals into realistic, step by step actions that feel manageable and sustainable rather than overwhelming. I place a strong emphasis on education and practical guidance, helping you understand how nutrition supports your body and health goals. By building knowledge, confidence, and consistency, my goal is to help you create lasting changes that support long term success.
