Rita’s approach to care is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and meeting clients where they are. She believes in treating each person as a whole individual, considering nutrition alongside lifestyle, preferences, and personal challenges. By focusing on realistic, achievable steps, she helps clients build confidence and lasting habits that support long-term health and well-being.
Your first session with Rita
In your first session, you’ll find a welcoming and collaborative space to begin your journey toward better health. Together, we’ll review your medical history, eating patterns, lifestyle, and any supplements or lab work that may be relevant. Rita will also take time to understand your relationship with food and explore any barriers that may have held you back in the past. By the end of the session, we’ll set realistic goals and outline a plan that feels doable for your life. You’ll leave with clear, personalized steps to get started, knowing that each step forward will be supported with guidance, encouragement, and tailored adjustments along the way.
