About Natalia
Natalia has over 15 years of experience in both nutrition counseling and research. She has worked in the food industry, academia, government, nonprofit sectors, clinical settings, outpatient, private-practice, and is a published author. After graduate school Natalia worked for a large food company in Minnesota. To gain more clinical experience, Natalia moved east to work at Johns Hopkins University where she conducted nutrition research and counseling. Further, she worked for the USDA at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center conducting nutrition studies and working with large food databases based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Thus, she knows exactly what is in your food!
Approach to care
I'm committed to helping you learn how to build healthier relationships with food and eat what is best for your body. My work focuses on personalized evidence-based nutrition advice, weight gain/loss, obesity, nutritional guidance while taking or after weight loss meds, helping one overcome emotional and disordered eating, eating disorders, reduce or completely eliminate medication, severe digestive issues, food allergies and intolerances, and mitigating other chronic diseases through diet. I believe in hearing your story, creating the space to meet you where you are at, and walking together to achieve your wholeness in health.
Your first session with Natalia
In our first session together, we will get to know each other, talk about the reasons you sought out a dietitian, go over relevant nutrition education, and together create an evidenced-based plan with achievable short term nutrition and health goals to help you reach your long term wellness goals.
