“Marina was amazing in helping personalize her advice to my situation. I travel often and she had great tips for managing food and supplements, etc. Previously, I would feel lost when I went grocery shopping, but with her guidance, I know exactly what to grab! So grateful I've been able to work with her. She's also a super kind and wonderful human being to interact with. “

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.
