About Jelena
I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a background in clinical nutrition, private practice and teaching. I am a board certified specialist in obesity and weight management (CSOWM).
Approach to care
I take a nonjudgemental l and emphatic approach in caring for my patients. I spend time listening to their concerns so they felt heard and supported. I use evidenced-based research to guide me in helping patients achieve their health goals and optimize their nutrition. I like to have a step-by-step plan so that patients do not feel overwhelmed and we can overcome each hurdle before moving on to the next step. I emphasize teaching because I believe that knowledge of nutrition and health is what will create sustainable and lifelong results for clients.
Your first session with Jelena
During our first session we'll take an in-depth look at your health history and your current state of health. No stone will go unturned in our comprehensive initial assessment. We will work together to establish your health and nutrition goals. We will focus on what is important to you and practical for you to reach your health goals. You'll walk away from our first meeting with tangible next steps and support and guidance to get you started on the right path.
