About Sashana
Hello! I'm Sashana Lee, a Registered Dietitian for the past year. I have spent two years educating low-income individuals on making good nutrition decisions with limited resources. Specializing in general nutrition, but also passionate about helping clients diagnosed with diabetes and obesity achieve their health goals. I am eager to guide clients toward sustainable, nourishing eating habits that incorporate the science and joy of food.
Approach to care
My approach to care is client-centered. Although I am a nutrition professional, the session is about you and how the nutrition plan will fit into your everyday life. I strongly believe that being knowledgeable about and maintaining a healthy relationship with food is the foundation of overall wellness. Any action taken towards achieving goals should be something that can be maintained over time- no fad diets, non-restrictive, just practical, joyful nourishment.
Your first session with Sashana
In our first session I will spend adequate time getting to know you as a person. I just want you to feel comfortable, relaxed, and open to share information without fear of being judged. I will obtain information such as family history, past medical history, cultural background, food preferences, and daily food habits. These will provide me with a great introduction from which we can work on a plan to meet your nutritional needs.

Hobbies
