Nutritionists and Dietitians near Ventura, CA

My name is Tanja Samalya, and I am a certified Master Nutrition Therapist, a practitioner specializing in holistic nutrition principles. I recognize that one's picture of health is colored by various individual experiences of life: physical, biochemical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and environmental. I use clinical education to make science-based recommendations and health coaching skills that promote desired behavior modifications for my clients while honoring a holistic perspective and bio-individuality. I can help you transition to become "plant-forward" or to improve your current plant-based lifestyle.

Make sense of all the confusing nutrition information to prevent and control high blood pressure, cholesterol, and more. I specialize in exercise/sports nutrition, disordered eating, and wellness.

As a functional nutrition and health coach, I know that you are unique and one solution (or pill!) does not fit all. After childhood allergies/asthma, frequent infections and fatigue, I was diagnosed with reproductive cancer and an autoimmune disease. I've been through it all, so I understand how frustrated you feel when your body stops working. Together, we'll build a strong foundation for you from the ground up with food, lifestyle and mindset enhancements. My programs improve sleep, energy, mental focus, and build better lifelong habits so you can accomplish more every day.
