Nutrition Counseling

Personalized. Sustainable. Down-to-earth.

Your overall well-being is about so much more than a number on a scale.

​

At Aterra Nutrition®, we take a non-diet, weight-inclusive approach that honors your whole self, body, mind, and lifestyle. With support from a registered dietitian and intuitive eating counselor, you’ll explore what true wellness means for you, beyond weight, beyond rules, and rooted in self-compassion and sustainable habits.​

​

Our practice focuses on nutrition counseling for:
​

  • Outpatient Eating Disorder Recovery

  • Digestive issues 

  • Women's health issues through the life span (special interest in pregnancy, postpartum)

  • Improving lab work through nutrition 

  • Disordered eating

​

At Aterra Nutrition®, we believe meaningful change starts from within. The goal of nutrition counseling isn’t to impose rigid expectations; it’s to support you in making sustainable, empowering choices that align with your values and lifestyle. Our registered dietitian offers a non-diet, intuitive eating approach to wellness, guiding you toward your intentions with compassion, flexibility, and respect.

​

We provide Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) for nutrition-related health conditions. MNT is often covered by insurance with a qualifying diagnosis, making expert, personalized care more accessible than ever.

​​​
​Here is what a nutrition counseling session typically looks like:

​

  • Virtual sessions with the dietitian through our portal, Healthie

  • A thorough health and medical history, including review of recent lab work, medications, supplements, and potential drug-nutrient interactions

  • A thorough nutrition assessment, including a 24-hour dietary recall and an assessment of your overall daily routine

  • Weight-inclusive medical nutrition therapy: nutritional, behavioral, and lifestyle modifications for your specific condition without focusing on weight or body size​

  • Support and guidance with Intuitive Eating and gentle nutrition as it relates to your condition

  • Recommendations based on the latest applicable research and scientific evidence

  • Sustainable nutrition goals and intentions tailored to you

  • Food + Feeling Journaling via Healthie, as applicable and desired

  • Supplement recommendations, as applicable and desired

  • Coordination with your treatment team, as applicable 

  • Referrals to additional healthcare providers, as applicable  

  • Additional resource recommendations, as applicable and desired

At the Dinner Table

I worked with Cristina because I had some abnormal lab work at my last physical. She was able to help me figure out what to eat without cutting out my favorite foods, and help me brainstorm ways to exercise that I not only enjoy, but that also support my goals. Cristina is compassionate and realistic in her approach. It's been a year and my labs are still normal. My doctor is happy, and I am happy. Thank you!
