Tessa Burrel

About Tessa

I have worked in the field in the nutrition field for over 16 years, helping individuals with goals such as weight loss, weight maintenance, and managing eating disorders. My experience also includes prenatal and postpartum nutrition, as well as working with infants, children, and families. My passion for nutrition began in childhood after working with a registered dietitian to gain weight following surgery. That experience inspired me to pursue this career. Today, I am a registered dietitian and a proud mother of four, who keep me active and grounded.

Approach to care

I believe in creating individualized goals for each person. Everyone comes from unique backgrounds and lifestyles, and it's important to develop a plan that fits your current situation. I'm here to listen, collaborate, and help determine what's realistic and achievable for you. My goal is to not only hold you accountable but also guide you toward becoming healthier-one step at a time.
