About Theresa

Hi! I’m Theresa, a Registered Dietitian with 3 years of experience—and a big believer in the power of simple, sustainable habits to support long-term health. I’m passionate about helping individuals step into a healthier, more vibrant version of themselves through realistic nutrition and lifestyle changes that truly fit their lives. Outside of work, you’ll find me listening to health and wellness podcasts, strength training, hiking in nature, or baking in the kitchen. I believe that taking care of your health shouldn’t feel overwhelming—it should feel empowering, doable, and even enjoyable. Whether you’re looking to support your metabolic health, balance hormones, or simply feel more confident in your body, I’m here to guide you with a personalized, down-to-earth approach.

Approach to care

I take a holistic, science-backed approach to nutrition and wellness, helping individuals build lasting habits that support their metabolism, energy, and overall quality of life. As a Registered Dietitian with over three years of experience, I work with clients of all genders to optimize how they eat, move, and live—with a passion women’s health, including hormone balance and metabolic support. Whether you're navigating hormonal changes, working toward body composition goals, or simply trying to feel better in your day-to-day life, I offer personalized strategies that go beyond quick fixes. I emphasize the importance of resistance training, fueling your body with the right macronutrient balance, and prioritizing quality sleep—all pillars of long-term health and longevity. My counseling style is supportive, educational, and tailored to your individual needs. I aim to create a space where you feel heard, empowered, and equipped with tools that actually work for your lifestyle.

Your first session with Theresa

Our first session is all about you. During this 60-minute conversation, we’ll take the time to dive into your health story—your background, lifestyle, eating habits, and any specific concerns or goals you’re bringing to the table. Whether you're looking for support with metabolic health, hormone balance, nutrition for training, or simply feeling better in your body, this session helps us create a clear picture of where you are and where you'd like to go. We'll talk about what you're hoping to gain from working with a dietitian and identify what matters most to you in your health journey. My goal is to understand your unique needs and values so we can build a personalized plan that feels realistic, sustainable, and aligned with your life. By the end of the session, you'll walk away with a better understanding of how we’ll work together moving forward—and a sense of clarity, direction, and support to begin making meaningful progress.
