Background

Hi, I’m Natalie, a bilingual Registered Dietitian Nutritionist passionate about helping individuals and families achieve their health and wellness goals. Here’s how I can support you on your journey:

Holistic Nutrition Expertise:

I blend science-based nutrition with complementary practices like mindful eating, yoga, and meditation to create sustainable and personalized plans that enhance your overall well-being.

Specialized Care for All Ages:

With extensive experience in child development and pediatric nutrition, I’m here to support your family’s unique needs while also addressing the health concerns of adults at every stage of life.

Cultural and Culinary Diversity:

As a lover of global cuisines, I incorporate traditional recipes and cultural preferences into nutrition plans that are both delicious and nourishing, proving that healthy eating can be enjoyable.

A Relatable Approach:

I’ve worked with people from all walks of life, combining empathy and expertise to address challenges like weight management, chronic disease prevention, and balanced living.

Life Beyond Nutrition:

My adventurous spirit (skydiving with my mom, anyone?) and love of travel shape my open-minded and creative approach, ensuring that your health journey is as unique as you are.

Whether you’re looking to improve your relationship with food, enhance your family’s nutrition, or embark on a new wellness journey, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way. Let’s work together to make your health goals a reality!
