Sports Performance Nutritionists and Dietitians near Santa Paula, CA

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.

Welcome! Are you an athlete or do have a career that requires a high level of performance? Do you feel unsure of what, when, and how much to eat? Is finding time to eat a challenge? Do you have a complicated relationship with food? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions and are looking for a way to simplify food & nutrition, I'd love to help. I help busy individuals take the stress out of eating so you could eat in a way that fuels performance, boosts energy levels, and helps you feel your best physically and mentally.

Welcome to personalized nutrition for optimal health, confidence, and vitality. I utilize functional medicine, sports nutrition, intuitive eating, and mindset nutrition to help you heal your relationship with food, heal your gut, and improve your health for good.

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.

I provide personal and individual nutrition education and counseling on a variety of health and nutrition issues. My approach is simple, yet effective. I work with the individual to assist in empowering them to make healthier eating habits and lifestyle changes. It definitely is not easy to take charge of your health on your own, but can be done when you have the right skills, information, and motivation. My goal in working with people is for them to eat healthier, feel better and to embrace eating as an enjoyable experience.
