About Petya

Hi! I'm Petya, a Registered Dietitian with over seven years of experience in inpatient care, outpatient services, and cardiac rehabilitation. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with individuals managing a wide range of health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, weight concerns, kidney disease, pancreatitis, liver disease, and many others. My goal is to support you in achieving your health and nutrition goals while ensuring that your body is well-nourished every step of the way.

Approach to care

I strongly believe that nutrition care should be tailored to each individual. I take into account your medical history, cultural background, lifestyle, and personal food preferences to develop a plan that works best for you. I also understand that lasting change requires patience, time, and commitment. I'm here to support you and provide the knowledge and resources you need to thrive on your nutrition journey.

Your first session with Petya

During our initial session, we'll spend time getting to know each other. You'll have the opportunity to share your nutritional goals, needs, habits, and lifestyle. Together, we'll identify at least one short-term goal for you to focus on before our next meeting. These sessions are designed for you, and my priority is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can feel comfortable bringing any questions or concerns.
