About Vanessa
I'm a registered dietitian of 14+ years with experience in clinical nutrition, sports & performance, and general wellbeing (weight loss, weight gain, managing different disease states). I enjoy working with clients looking to improve their health via behavior change and lifestyle habits, as well as those with more specific goals related to chronic disease or sports/performance.
Approach to care
Open-minded, empowering, non-judgmental. I provide evidence-based counseling and sift through the BS for you so you don't have to. I keep any personal bias out of the equation to help you find the best and most efficient path to what's important to you. My nutrition philosophy is rooted in sustainability & work to help each individual find their own personal balance.
Your first session with Vanessa
We'll go over your medical and nutrition history, discuss your current nutrition approach and habits, and collaborate to establish a plan of action. I want to get to know you and understand what has worked for you in the past or what hasn't so that we find an approach that will help you progress toward your health and wellness goals.
