Hi, I’m Cerina, a licensed Registered Dietitian Nutritionist that specializes in Integrative and Functional Nutrition and Wellness, along with coaching through behavior change. I’ve helped clients with a variety of health challenges including; a history of chronic dieting, fatigue and digestive issues (e.g., bloat, gas, etc.) and athletic performance. In my work with clients I help them to improve their relationship with food by deconstructing food cravings to increase their energy levels and focus, lose weight while also eating easy to prepare delicious foods. All this together to ultimately regain control over their health.

Offering HIPAA compliant nutrition telehealth. Providing a realistic approach to nutrition, weight, and fitness by making small changes to lifestyle to help you fit it all in. Would you like to be more energetic, fit, healthy, or are you an athlete looking to improve your diet? Or are you a musician or someone looking to improve performance, strength, decrease fatigue & soreness, while improving muscle mass, mobility, and healthier food choices on the road? It is my goal to help you realistically obtain your goals for optimal energy, a healthy weight, and improved lean body mass, to achieve long-term success!

I'm passionate about helping people feel better in their body, integrate healthier lifestyle habits and finding solutions for health issues. My main focus in my work is empowering individuals with the tools and information they need to achieve their goals. I provide nutritional counseling as well as rehabilitative training and craniosacral therapy. I have a weight-neutral practice, which means I do not use weight loss as the main metric for success.

Functional medicine nutrition aims to address the root cause of disease instead of just managing symptoms. As a nutritionist I believe in the body's innate ability to heal itself. By healing the gut, rebalancing nutrient levels and gently eliminating toxins we can create the conditions for true health. I enjoy working with a diverse clientele, from individuals of all ages to families, and welcome all stages of each person's healing journey, whether you are a seasoned foodie or just starting out.

There is so much nutrition information out there. Shifting through all the informaion can be down right confusing and overwhelming. My practice focuses on finding peace with all foods and teaching you how to honor your unique nutrition needs. There is no such thing as "the right diet". Tune out the diet noise and learn what you need instead.

My goal is to help you improve your relationship with food & ditch the fad diets. My goal is to not only help my clients lose weight but also the skills you will need to maintain results you achieve by building a solid foundation of baseline habits that will serve you for the rest of your life. Whether you want to lose weight, help aid in preventing or a plan that will help you treat a disease, you want to just improve your overall health & wellness, I am here to help you! I accept insurance as well as private pay.
