About Stephen

I began helping people with their health by coaching in commercial gyms in 2005. I went on to lead personal training teams at Equinox Fitness Clubs, ran multiple personal training studios, and eventually started consulting other gym owners on how to better serve and support their members. I also spent time giving back to my community which led me to being named Business Person of the Year in 2015 by the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce, and then served as President of my local Chamber of Commerce for 3 years. Over my many years in fitness, I became increasingly frustrated with the lack of high-quality nutrition education in the fitness industry. I decided to pursue my Master’s in Nutrition & Dietetics, and become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist to contribute to the solution. I currently balance working in a boutique gym and as a Clinical Dietitian.

Approach to care

My ideal client is someone who has struggled with weight management and lifestyle/environmental factors and is no less than an 8 out of 10 committed to making changes. Working with a Registered Dietitian can feel very “medical” and intimidating. My approach is about creating a personal connection so I become the resource you can know, like, and trust. I’m here to create clear expectations, accountability, and provide the support system you need. What sets me apart from other dietitians
