About Joana

Joana has been a Registered Dietitian for over 13 years. She is passionate about helping people rethink their relationship with food, creating healthy recipes, and working with children and adolescents in the community setting. She has taught nutrition classes and made over 1,000 quesadillas. Joana is dedicated to providing a supportive environment with empathy, understanding, and validation of her clients' experiences. I will also provide evidence-based nutrition education to help you achieve your goals.

Approach to care

My approach to nutrition is that food is our fuel, created to heal us and not harm us. The topic of food is deeply personal to each of us, a unique part of our cultural identity and a source of connection. Nutrition should be flexible, enjoyable, and empowering. My goal is to help clients develop a healthy relationship with food and create balance throughout their lives. Together, we will set small, realistic goals to achieve before our next meeting.

Your first session with Joana

In our first session together, I will listen deeply—not just to hear, but to truly understand and connect. We will explore your health history, challenges, and goals together. Our time together would be a collaborative process, and your input would be highly valuable. I will provide you with accountability, tools, compassion, and individualized care. Understanding that there are no quick fixes on the journey of health and well-being, I am dedicated to walking alongside you every step of the way. Let’s begin your health journey together and work toward lasting, meaningful change.
