Background
As a dedicated dietitian from the bustling city of NYC, fluent in both English and Russian, and equipped with an MS in Nutrition and Dietetics, I'm here to provide evidence-based guidance to help you achieve your health goals. Whether you're dealing with specific health conditions, weight management, GI symptoms, or family nutrition, I offer personalized nutrition tailored to your needs. With 2 years of experience in managing numerous health conditions in health care setting and 1200+ field training hours, I am committed to offering comprehensive support on your wellness journey.
My passion for nutrition was ignited by a lifelong fascination with biochemistry and the profound impact of food on the body. Witnessing the positive changes that dietary choices brought to myself and my friends inspired me to delve deeper into the world of nutrition. Moving to America exposed me to a horrifyingly diverse food market at that time, where I faced the challenge of nourishing my children, managing my mom and husband high cholesterol, and addressing my own body's reactions to new foods, which caused uncomfortable symptoms. The prevalent health issues plaguing those around me served as a catalyst to pursue a career in nutrition, driven by a desire to empower individuals to prioritize their health.
My personal struggles with weight and gastrointestinal issues during my teenage years, which sometimes led to skipping school, have given me a profound empathy for the obstacles my clients may encounter on their wellness journeys.
Outside of my professional life, I am a devoted mother of two, who has a Hispanic husband and appreciation for a cultural importance in food choices. A daughter of choreographer mother and engineer father empowered me with creativity and logic that shaped my holistic approach to health and nutrition. Influenced by my doctor grandmother and my experiences in hospital settings as a child, I developed a deep passion for guiding individuals towards optimal health.
In my leisure time, I indulge my love for travel, immersing myself in various cultures and culinary experiences. Alongside my work, I enjoy exploring leadership and motivational literature, enriching my knowledge and inspiring positive change in those I interact with.
In addition, I hold a special love for music, having graduated from a first-level music school in Russia. I am also involved in a family business—a music studio located in Brooklyn, New York.
Hope to meet you soon and hear your story. Don't wait any longer to invest in your health and well-being - reach out today and let's get started on your transformative journey together.
