About Suzanna
My name is Suzie, and I am a registered dietitian from Virginia! I went to Virginia Tech for both my undergraduate and graduate coursework- Go Hokies!- and I completed my dietetic internship at the University of Virginia Health System in Charlottesville, Virginia. I love to cook and bake, with my most recent obsession being making sourdough bread. I also love to run and spending time outside.
Approach to care
I take a holistic and individualized approach to nutrition, recognizing that health looks different for everyone. I believe in building a positive, sustainable relationship with food while honoring your unique lifestyle, preferences, and goals. Rather than focusing on comparison or rigid rules, I support you in navigating your own health journey. I understand how busy life and full schedules can be, so my approach emphasizes realistic, flexible strategies that fit into your day-to-day routine. I encourage prioritizing movement in ways that feel enjoyable and supportive, not overwhelming or all-or-nothing. Together, we’ll focus on progress over perfection, creating habits that support your well-being for the long term.
Your first session with Suzanna
In your first session, I will take time getting to know all about you! Expect to spend the majority of the time sharing all about your lifestyle and who you are as a person. We will spend time discussing your schedule, likes, dislikes, food preferences, movement, exercise, sleep habits, your relationship with food, and more. All this information helps me to know where you are in your health journey and where you would like to be. It allows for us to build a relationship built on mutual respect and understanding, and mold future sessions into what you need them to be. Working together as a team, we can make sure to prioritize your goals and create strategies that fit your life. I can't wait to get started working with you!
