Meet Vanessa.
A clinically trained, board-certified Pediatric and Family Dietitian, who is also a mother of two. I’ve seen it all!
I’m a Board Certified Specialist in Pediatric Nutrition, with 12 years of experience in maternity, special care nursery, and pediatric clinics.
I’m also a mother of two children with severe dietary restrictions. I know what it’s like to work around special diets while keeping little ones happy and healthy.
I offers a unique combination of real-life mom experience, clinical knowledge, and behavioral health/emotional connection. We’ll use all three to help you reach your goals.
