About
Adena is extremely passionate about educating others on nutrition because she once struggled with her own health challenges, which allows her to uniquely relate to her clients on a personal level. She was able to overcome her health challenges through dietary and lifestyle changes; which completely changed her life. Her experience had such a profound impact, she made the decision to leave an established career in human resources to become a registered dietitian so she could help others understand how nutrition can positively impact their lives.
Approach to Care
Adena takes pride in helping each patient develop a personalized plan that works for them; there is no “one-size fits all” when it comes to nutrition. Adena focuses on balance through sustainable dietary and lifestyle changes vs. a strict dieting approach. In addition to designing a sustainable nutrition plan, she will also work with you to prioritize other foundational aspects of health, such as stress management, sleep hygiene, and physical activity. Working with Adena will provide a safe and non-judgemental space that will allow flexibility and empowerment in reaching personal goals.
What to Expect
During your first session, Adena uses the hour to truly get to know you and understand your nutritional goals. This will involve open conversation about medical history, past experiences with nutrition, food preferences, short and long-term goals, and much more. This comprehensive session of getting to know you and answering any question you have will allow Adena to collaboratively work with you in developing your personalized plan.
