Background
Stop Dieting. Start Understanding Your Eating.
If you're tired of starting over, struggling with emotional eating, or feeling frustrated by diets that don't last, you're not alone.
Whether you're managing a medical condition, seeking a non-diet approach to weight management, recovering from a disordered eating relapse, or ready to finally understand why emotional eating keeps showing up, you're in the right place. We'll work together to create realistic habits that fit your life.
As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Licensed Dietitian, and Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional, I take a compassionate, evidence-based approach that goes beyond meal plans. Rather than focusing solely on what you eat, we'll explore the behaviors, stressors, emotions, and patterns that influence your health and relationship with food.
My philosophy is simple: lasting results come from understanding your habits, not controlling every calorie.
Together, we'll focus on practical strategies that support long-term success, including:
- Sustainable weight management
- Blood sugar management
- Heart-healthy lifestyle changes
- Emotional eating and stress eating awareness
- Mindful and intuitive eating skills
- Meal planning and balanced nutrition
- Performance fueling and hydration
- Building confidence and consistency
- Sleep, stress, and lifestyle habits that impact health
My clients often tell me they feel heard, supported, and empowered rather than judged. One client shared:
"Working with Tanya has been the best experience I've had with any healthcare professional. She takes the time to get to know you and your unique circumstances. I feel supported without judgment."
I am also the author of The Mindful Me Journey and Food Isn't the Problem, books that reflect the same practical, compassionate tools I use to help clients move beyond diet culture and create a healthier relationship with food and their bodies.
As a former Hall of Fame athlete, I understand the importance of fueling the body for health, performance, and longevity. Today, I bring that same commitment to helping clients build sustainable habits that support both physical and emotional well-being.
You don't need another diet. You need a plan that works with your life.
If you're ready to improve your health, manage your condition with confidence, and create lasting behavior change, I'd love to help you take the next step. Let's work together to build a healthier future, one realistic habit at a time.

Approach
Nutrition is about more than food. Using lifestyle medicine and behavior change science, I help clients uncover how stress, emotions, habits, and beliefs shape eating patterns and health. Together, we build practical strategies that create lasting change without dieting. I specialize in medical nutrition therapy, non-diet weight care, disordered eating relapse recovery, and emotional eating, helping clients find freedom and peace with food.
