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

As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), I utilize the Nutrition Care Process (NCP) to provide personalized nutrition care. This involves assessing individual needs, diagnosing nutrition problems, developing tailored intervention plans, and monitoring progress. I take a client-centered approach, actively listening to client concerns, collaborating on goals, and empowering them to make informed choices.

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.
