MEET OUR TEAM

Valentina Steverlynck, MS, RYT, RD, LDN

Hello! I’m Valentina (she/her/hers), the founder and owner of Yébo Nutrition LLC. I am a registered dietitian nutritionist and certified yoga teacher. I believe in an intuitive, weight-inclusive approach to nutrition and lifestyle. This goes hand-in-hand with my background in yoga teaching and joyful movement. My passion is working with both adults and children to bring joy and empowerment to their relationship with food and body. I am your trusted source for evidence-based nutrition knowledge. 

I value taking the time to get to know each client for the unique individual they are. Together, we will discover what works best for you and your body. When you work with me, I will be there to provide you with unconditional guidance and support.

I believe that:

  • Food can be more than just nourishment. It can be love, culture, connection, comfort, pleasure, joy, celebration, an act of service, and more.
  • We all have the innate ability to eat intuitively. With unconditional permission to eat food without judgment, you can take the power back and learn to feed your body in a way that supports you both physically and emotionally.
  • Lifelong nourishment requires an understanding of how your relationship with food has developed throughout your life. Together, we will build upon the parts that serve you well and let go of parts that don’t.
  • You are the expert of your body! I’m here to help and support you in discovering how to nourish it in a way that works best for you.
  • Weight stigma is a barrier to health access. Promoting health equity means creating supportive environments where people of all body sizes are treated with dignity and have access to quality care.

What a lovely morning spent with local therapists and business owners who I’ve loved collaborating with over the last year. I so much enjoy being part of this community. Thank you to Campesino Café @somoscampesino for the delicious farm-fresh food and warm atmosphere that made the morning even more special. 🍓☀️ The language we use around food matters more than we think. It influences what children believe about food and their bodies as they grow. Here’s a dietitian-approved tip to promote positive relationships with food early on. If you or a loved one needs eating disorder recovery support, we are here for you. Reach out to us for information about nutrition counseling with a registered dietitian. Food chaining is a gentle strategy that helps both picky eaters and children with feeding disorders try new foods by starting with something they already like—then making small, gradual changes to taste, texture, or appearance.
