“Valentina is knowledgeable, thorough and kind! I looked forward to every one of our meetings. She always had effective, intelligent recommendations and took the time to explain the nutritional facts behind the choices she was recommending. She eased so much of my stress around feeding my child in a balanced and healthy way, as well as validated some of the things I was already doing. When you have concerns about your child’s nutrition and how it’s affecting their bodies there is always a fine line between addressing the issue without causing unhealthy mental associations with food. That was exactly what Valentina walked me through. She had wonderful, applicable ideas for me to implement immediately that made a big difference my family’s attitudes around food. My child’s bloodwork proved the changes we implemented thanks to her had an enormous effect on some of his levels. I highly, highly recommend her!”

“Valentina has been a wonderful resource in helping our teenage daughter learn the best ways to choose and enjoy food. Over the past year, our daughter has demonstrated increased interest in preparing a balanced and varied lunch the evening before as well as a meal for the family several times a month. I have observed significantly more variety in her food choices and a greater awareness of the nutrition she gains from what she eats. No foods are entirely off-limits in our home. However, since she started meeting with Valentina, our daughter consumes far more fruits and vegetables as well as food she has prepared herself – a few hours ago, I came home to find zucchini blueberry muffins she made to pack for her pre-practice snack this week! Our pediatrician ordered labs before Valentina started working with our daughter; a year ago, she had elevated triglycerides. Last month, they were in the “healthy range.” We are grateful to Valentina and feel she has been a real asset to our daughter and her long term health.”
