About Teresa
Frustrated with your weight, energy, or how your body feels? I can help. Iām a Registered Dietitian with a doctorate in nutrition, and Iāve helped thousands of clients reach a weight they feel confident at, boost energy, and improve health. Iāll uncover the root causes of your concerns and guide you with steps to see results. No bland diets or cutting out favoritesāI tailor plans to your needs. If youāve struggled with weight loss, fatigue, PCOS, hormones, heart health, or diabetes, I provide a judgment-free space to help you improve your health and life in a way that works for you.
Approach to care
I listen to understand your goals, lifestyle, preferences, and medical history. From there, I identify likely root causesāoften more than oneāand guide you to understand whatās happening in your body using analogies and visuals. Small changes may lead to big results, or we may need to unpack and address several factors. My approach helps you build a sustainable, enjoyable lifestyle that improves your health for years, not weeks. Clients have dropped medications, lowered A1C, reduced blood pressure, balanced hormones, gained energy, eased pain, and lost 10ā100+ pounds.
Your first session with Teresa
In our first session, Iāll ask questions to understand your goals, what success looks like, your likes/dislikes, past efforts, and current lifestyle. Then, Iāll explain what lifestyle factors impact your health most and where to focus your efforts. Together, weāll set habit experimentsānot rigid goalsādesigned to test what works for you. Think of it as running a pilot test for your health, adjusting based on your results. This isnāt a work project; itās about finding sustainable changes that fit your life and lead to the results you want.
