“Working with Anthea has changed my perspective on foods in such a positive way. She helped me realize how many of my learned habits from false information about, diets, food groups, and rules about eating were not really heathy or benefitting me. When I started working with Anthea, I had a fear of carbs, I meal prepped lunches I didn’t always want to eat, and I overate after dinner with desserts that never satisfied me. 

She taught me about my individual health markers, and what foods would benefit them the best. Helping me get over my stigmas and fears, while simultaneously teaching me about heart healthy changes to help me lower my cholesterol. It opened my eyes, and I finally feel like I can eat balanced meals without restriction, and I have felt the benefits of that physically and mentally already.

The best part about it all, I really just added in foods, and they were all foods I love. I have naturally minimized the foods that I know aren’t as beneficial for me, because the food that replaced it makes me feel better. Choosing to work with Anthea as my dietician was the best choice I made for my health, and I would recommend anyone that has that feeling of being lost around diets, foods, and their health to work with Anthea.” — NB

“Anthea goes above and beyond to ensure that she is meeting the needs of her clients, giving a truly personalized approach rooted in what is best for those she is working with. She is very approachable and answers any and every question, whether in session or out. She always helps to reframe negative thoughts and mindsets, and goes way above just nutrition counseling!” — VS

““I would highly recommend working with Anthea. She is extremely kind, understanding, and really listens to you (and your million and one questions). She really works with you as a person and cares a lot about your over all health (physical, mental, emotional). There is absolutely no judgment from her regarding food choices and she really shows you that she just wants to help. Overall amazing experience! I can truly say that I've learned so much about nutrition and about myself.” — AA

“I thought I knew—but I didn’t—how to eat before I worked with Anthea. And as hyperbolic as it sounds, my life has changed from the months I spent working with her. I wasn’t trying to lose weight or figure out if I was Celiac, I just wanted to learn how to eat, and get some tools for eating at restaurants and drinking less. Now I have so much more understanding of how my body works, how to portion my plate, and most importantly, how to prioritize vegetables (though sorry Anthea, I’m not putting cauliflower rice in my smoothies lol). I recently had a physical and my doctor didn’t ask a single question about my diet or exercise, and I realized how much of my health is in my hands—and yet I had no idea what I was doing. I’m so glad I worked with Anthea because now I feel like I know how to eat for a longer, happier life. And honestly? It wasn’t that hard.” - AB

“Anthea has completely changed my relationship with food in just a few months. I tried several dietitians before this and always felt shamed and like the goals/suggestions were inaccessible.  With Anthea, I feel like she meets me where I am.  She collaborates to create doable goals to build confidence and new habits in a sustainable way. She sends positive messages when she sees healthier choices in my food journal (and kind, realistic suggestions when she sees things I could do better). She also embodies a commitment to having a good relationship with food for your overall health, rather than a focus on what you eat or your weight determining your value as a person.

I appreciate her compassionate, patient-centered, and evidence-based approach to nutrition care. I was excited that just by starting to cook more meals at home, eat more veggies, and eat more protein (which led to fewer sweets cravings) that I lost 10 lbs without even realizing it till I stepped on the scale! 

Anthea is very responsive to answer questions and provide support. I credit her knowledge, but also the caring accountability and attentiveness that she offers to clients, as reasons I have made so much progress. I feel more confidence in my ability to make food changes, feel more control over my eating choices, and feel better about myself. 

I look forward to continuing to work with Anthea to maintain and refine my good habits, and can’t recommend her more highly! I tell everyone I know about Anthea and encourage them to meet with her to meet their nutrition goals! She is truly one in a million and I feel incredibly grateful for her help.” — SK

“Anthea was beyond professional and allowed me to get really into my feelings pretty quick. She actually thanked me for being vulnerable and telling her where my issues stemmed from. Anthea also listened to me and my goals and really was able to make me understand how to achieve them and how we will work together to get to where I want to be. Anthea also made herself available to me whenever she could. I would update my meals and grocery list and she made comments and suggestions on how I can tweak to make it work for my goals.” — GC

“I started working with Anthea…about 3 months ago and have been thrilled with my progress. It was the change I needed in how I approached healthy living. While weight loss is not always, nor has to be a goal, it was for me and I am currently down 20+ lbs, which is no easy feat, as I have PCOS and struggle with weight loss. Anthea helped navigate me to an endocrinologist and has worked closely with me to evolve my goals throughout the process. Having Anthea as a partner in this journey helps anchor me towards my short and long term goals, which keeps progress within reach in a sustainable and livable way…I am so incredibly happy with my experience, it has made a world of difference in my life that I didn't think was possible!” — DK
