What people are saying

"Thank you for everything you have helped me with! I am feeling very grateful today. I can’t believe that I did a google search for a dietitian and I decided to call you! There was something about you that made me call. I’ve always believed that when you are looking for your true self the universe (or God as I call it) will deliver! I can tell you that you have changed my life! Thank you for guiding me and teaching me about intuitive eating. It’s not only changing my relationship with food but my relationship with myself and my family! The work that you do is so powerful that it changes lives! Your smile, kindness and empathy created a safe space for me to evolve, change my narrative and share my story. I’ve been to so many nutritionist, dietitians and health professionals (including doctors in natural medicine). For the first time I am listening to my body without the outside noise! I listen to my body not only about the food it needs to fuel itself but about what movement, rest, breaks, healing and time it needs! So thank you again for the amazing work you do! I can only hope more people can discover this level of living! You are a true catalyst of change!

"Ella is extremely knowledgeable and has a passion for helping athletes achieve their goals. Her help was critical to me as I trained for my first marathon in New York in 2018. I had never paid much attention to running nutrition and became discouraged when I bonked on a 20-mile training run.  Ella reviewed my running nutrition and hydration as well as my overall diet and gave me some extremely valuable insights. Fortunately, there was enough time before the race to incorporate her suggestions and test out different fueling products during my remaining training runs. I was thrilled to finish the marathon with a Boston Qualifier! I will definitely seek out her advice in the future."

Ella evaluates each client and devises a personalized plan to promote holistic health and well-being. Her positivity made our time together a fun and meaningful experience. I came away from our sessions not only with a healthier system but also with a healthier relationship with food and sustainable nutrition practices."
