About Lia
Lia has been a dietitian for almost 5 years. She has experience in many different health care settings. Lia specializes in diabetes, weight loss and cardiovascular disease.
Approach to care
Food is far more than just "fuel". There are a lot of emotions that surround food - preferences, cravings, childhood memories associated with certain dishes... Food is culture. Lia believes that diets don't work. Everything can be consumed in moderation. She has a health-forward approach to eating a diet that you can still enjoy while achieving your health goals!
Your first session with Lia
Expect to enter a judgement-free zone. During your initial appointment, Lia takes the time to get to know you better. She will ask you what your day-to-day looks like, what you like to eat, and what your goals are. Together, you and Lia will work to come up with a realistic plan to help you achieve your goals.
