About Laura

While Laura is a registered dietitian who may be known to have burned a dish or two in the kitchen, she has over a decade of nutrition experience working with patients in the hospital, rehabilitative, and outpatient setting and has seen the powerful role nutrition plays in our wellbeing. As a mother of four and having grown up in a large Italian family, Laura appreciates that food does not just fuel the body, it nourishes the soul and mind as well. Nutrition can offer so much. And one of Laura’s great joys is seeing a client experience just that.

Approach to care

All are welcome! Tailored to the client’s unique needs and preferences, Laura’s holistic approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and practicality- with a strong emphasis on evidence-based research for simple and sustainable change.

Your first session with Laura

Whether it is your first or twenty-first meeting with Laura, you should come to your appointment expecting a non-judgemental, open and supportive environment. During your initial appointment, Laura will complete a comprehensive nutritional assessment based on your unique medical and personal history. You will be asked about your medical history, medications, laboratory results as well as nutrition, exercise, and sleep habits. While it may seem like some nitty-gritty details, the overall goal is for you and Laura to get acquainted, understand where you have been in your health journey and where you would like to go.
