Tessa Burrel

About Tessa

I have worked in the nutrition field for over 16 years. I have worked with individuals who want to lose weight, maintain weight, gain weight, eating disorders, prenatal and postpartum nutrition, with infants,children and families. As a child I had to work with a registered dietitian to gain weight after surgery and that is where my interest started and that is why I am a dietitian today. I am married with 4 children that keep me active.

Approach to care

I like to tailor and individualize goals for each person. Everyone comes from different backgrounds and live different lifestyles and it’s important for me to learn about you so we can create a plan that best fits your current lifestyle. I am here to listen and to help determine what goals we can achieve and obtain together. Accountability is huge and I can help hold you accountable but also help guide you in the right direction to become healthier one step at time.

Your first session with Tessa

I will want to get to know who you are by asking questions and creating dialog so that we can come up with a plan for the outcome you are looking for. I like each of my clients to feel heard and to know they have someone who is listening and making sure they are making the appropriate changes that work for them.
