HOLISTIC DIETITIAN AND PERSONAL TRAINER

Andrea is a Registered Dietitian that takes an integrated approach to helping clients work toward optimal health and weight loss. She begins with a comprehensive evaluation in order to determine the best approach to help each individual get to the root problem as opposed to merely treating the symptoms. She believes diet is the best medicine to fuel and heal the body. 

Andrea's passion for health and weight loss began at a young age. As a competitive gymnast, she began exploring the effects diet had on her body composition. From her personal experiences and struggles with weight, she is able to empathize and help you make peace with food. She realizes it's not just about coming up with the perfect diet, but helping you apply and make maintainable changes is important. She wants to help you not just survive, but thrive and enjoy life to the fullest!
