Patient reviews
“I've worked with many dietitians, but Marina is the first who made things click. Her teaching style is clear, supportive, and makes sense. She's fun, honest, and holds me accountable in a way that helps—not shames. I feel like I finally understand my body better and am making more intentional choices. Food is still joyful, but now I'm smarter about it. Highly recommend!“

About Marina
I grew up cooking wholesome meals and have a deep understanding of both European and American cuisines. I believe everyone deserves clear, practical, and personalized nutrition advice. Are you tired of feeling lost and overwhelmed by conflicting diet advice? I can help you navigate your health journey with confidence. Together, we'll create a personalized plan to help you reach your goals. I've authored two cookbooks: "Easy Gastric Sleeve Bariatric Surgery Cookbook" and "The Plant-Based Weight Loss Solution." Let's work together to achieve your health goals.
Approach to care
I believe food is medicine, and preventative care is the cornerstone of optimal health. I'm passionate about crafting personalized nutrition plans that address individual needs and preferences, guiding clients toward a balanced and vibrant life. By focusing on preventative strategies, we can cultivate long-term wellness.
Your first session with Marina
Our first session will focus on building a strong foundation for your nutrition journey. We'll start by setting clear, achievable goals that align with your motivations. This will involve a detailed discussion of your current eating habits, lifestyle, sleep patterns, and exercise routine. Together, we'll create a personalized plan with small, actionable steps to help you reach your goals. We'll review this plan and make any necessary adjustments during our next session.
