Healthy Lifestyle Habits
Don’t let the term dietitian fool you – we deal with more than just weight loss! Individuals working with dietitians often wish to optimize their health and address ongoing health concerns, including diabetes, gout, high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Changing your eating habits can also translate into better energy, mood, sleep and even muscle tone. Through a comprehensive assessment, you can work with Stefania to create a step-by-step strategy to achieve your nutrition goals.
Pediatrics
Proper nutrition in the early years is key to setting your child up for their development and healthy eating habits later in life. Some children need a bit more support exploring new foods and eating enough to grow. Stefania often helps families manage weight concerns, food allergies (including cow’s milk protein allergy), transitioning to solids, picky eating, Autism and ADHD.
Digestive Health
The digestive tract ensures the nutrients we eat get delivered to the parts of the body that need them most. But what happens when your digestive tract isn’t functioning as it should? Individuals with ongoing digestive concerns can explore lifestyle strategies to help manage Celiac disease, chronic constipation, acid reflux, diverticulosis, fatty liver, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Stefania has specialized training on Monash University’s low FODMAP diet and will tailor your plan using the latest guidelines for IBS care.
Disordered Eating
Individuals with feeding issues beyond the typical picky eating patterns benefit from ongoing support and monitoring. Stefania regularly works with individuals that have sensory feeding issues and oral motor challenges, including those with Autism and developmental delays. She has completed the Geneva Center Autism Intervener Certificate and the Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) Feeding Approach and will provide a comprehensive toolkit of strategies to assist you. Stefania also helps families with kids and teens showing early signs of disordered eating habits, including restrictive eating, dieting and poor body image.
