About Juliana

I am a Registered Dietitian in the Pittsburgh area of Pennsylvania. I graduated with my MS in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Pittsburgh in 2014. Since then I've worked in the hospital, research, and food service. My favorite job, however, is working one on one with people, providing education and supporting them with their dietary goals. Recently I completed a Nutrition and Mental Health course and am interested in learning more about the mind/body connection.

Approach to care

When we want to learn or improve on skills, it takes incremental practice and study. Creating lifestyle changes is no different. My approach with individuals is to assess their routine and beliefs around nutrition then collaborate on education, identifying barriers, and goal setting. I offer support and guidance on making small, sustainable adjustments that build into long term habits that feel natural. I aim to remove the stress and restrictive feelings that can come with change, and for those I work with to feel confident and empowered in their journey.

Your first session with Juliana

The first session is getting to know each other and for me to really learn about what your life looks like - work, family, interests, what your ultimate goals are, and your history and relationship with food and diet. This is a relaxed, no judgement conversation. During our sessions, you are the driver and I am your resource and support. Together we will form a strategy and start setting goals to get you to where you want to be.
