About Maja
I am a dietitian nutritionist with close to twenty years of experience in health and wellness. I hold a master’s degree in nutrition from Virginia Tech and a bachelor’s degree in holistic nutrition. I am a certified health and well-being coach (Wellcoaches) and a 200-hour certified yoga instructor. My experience ranges from long-term care and dialysis to corporate wellness, private practice, and teaching at a collegiate level. I love all areas of nutrition, but I am particularly interested in weight management, healthy aging, menopause management, inflammation, and gut health.
Approach to care
Your journey to optimal health is unique. I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space where you can explore your health and wellness goals. We'll work together to identify the underlying factors contributing to your concerns and develop a personalized, sustainable plan that aligns with your values and lifestyle. By focusing on quality nutrition and mindful movement, we'll help you find balance, joy, and lasting well-being.
Your first session with Maja
Your first session with me is a collaborative process designed to understand your unique needs and goals. We'll start by discussing your health history, dietary preferences, and lifestyle. Together, we'll define clear and achievable goals for your nutritional journey. We'll delve into your emotional connection with food and identify any underlying factors that may be influencing your eating habits. Based on your goals and preferences, we'll develop a personalized nutrition plan that is both effective and enjoyable. Remember, this is your journey, and I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's work together to achieve your health and wellness goals.
