About Natali

Hello! My name is Natali, and I am a Registered Dietitian dedicated to helping individuals achieve lifelong health through sustainable, personalized nutrition. I hold both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Nutritional Science and Dietetics, providing me with a deep, research-based foundation in how nutrition impacts the body. Throughout my career and training, I have specialized in working with diverse communities, low-income households, and individuals managing chronic conditions like diabetes or weight-related challenges. I am passionate about bridging the gap between clinical nutrition and the reality of daily life.

Approach to care

I believe that food is deeply personal. It is shaped by your upbringing, your culture, and your environment. Because of this, I don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" diets. My philosophy is rooted in understanding your "Why." I recognize that socioeconomics, regional accessibility, and generational habits all play a role in how you eat today. My goal is never to take away the foods you love or distance you from your cultural heritage. Instead, I focus on addition rather than subtraction. We will work together to integrate nourishing options into your current lifestyle while staying true to your favorite flavors and traditions. My teachings are always evidence-based and tailored to your specific physical and personal needs.

Your first session with Natali

Your first session is all about connection and understanding. We won't jump into restrictive plans; instead, we will have a conversation to build a roadmap for your success. During this initial visit, we will discuss: Your Food Environment: What foods do you have access to, and what does your budget look like? Your Lifestyle: Are you a busy professional? Do you have physical limitations when it comes to preparing meals? I specialize in creating accommodations for any lifestyle. Your History: We will explore your cultural background and the foods that make you feel at home. Sustainability: We will identify the most realistic, long-term approach to nutrition that keeps you healthy and nourished for life.

Hobbies

I’m a bit of a hobby collector, though my current focus is split between journaling and crocheting. While I love rotating through new interests, traveling remains the one constant staple in my life.
