About Valerie
Hi, I’m Valerie a Latinx RD passionate about fostering authentic connections & providing unwavering support on your unique food journey! Drawing from my experience in supporting individuals through eating disorder recovery, I understand the importance of compassionate guidance & tailored interventions. I also understand the intricate relationship we have with food & the profound impact it has on our lives. Your journey is deeply personal, I believe in supporting your goals to reflect your unique needs, preferences & aspirations. We'll navigate the complexities of nutrition while fostering a sense of balance & joy in nourishing your body.
Approach to care
Collaboration, empathy & weight inclusivity lie at the heart of my approach. I strive to create a space that is nonjudgmental to understand your unique experiences & provide compassionate, accessible care - respecting where you are in your specific journey. Whether you're seeking to overcome eating challenges, improve your relationship with food or simply optimize your nutrition to promote positive well-being, I'm here to offer personalized support & guidance along the way.
Your first session with Valerie
Think of our first session like grabbing a cup of coffee with a friend but this friend is really curious about your nutrition history. I’ll spend time getting to know you & completing a comprehensive nutrition assessment, asking questions about your lifestyle, eating habits, relationship with food & medical history (to name a few). Together, we'll work hand in hand to co-create a roadmap towards your health goals. I'm eager to work alongside you, educate & embark on this journey, where authenticity, support & empowerment pave the way to a happier, healthier you.
