About Venkata

I am a Registered Dietitian based in California and originally from India, I love to work with people of diverse backgrounds and cultures. My experience of growing up and traveling around places gave me an opportunity to understand different perspectives of people and be open-minded. I like to encourage and support clients to incorporate their cultural foods and still be able to meet their nutrition goals. While I worked with clients of various health conditions and backgrounds, I discovered my passion for helping clients to improve their relationship with food and achieve their goals.

Approach to care

I strongly believe every individual have a unique relationship with food and I am here to support my clients meeting where they are in their nutrition journey. My approach to care is empathy and build a rapport with the client to better understand them and personalize the the goals based on their needs. In addition, I will approach any health concerns in a holistic manner.
