“Francesca is a wonderful nutritionist. She listens to your goals and concerns and comes up with a way to achieve them, with food. She takes her time and makes sure that you are aligned with the plan put forward. Additionally, and most importantly to me, she makes you examine your eating habbits from an objective view. She really made me think about the way and what i was eating which I couldn't have done on my own. I'm going to continue working with her until my cholesterol numbers come down.

Francesca is as attentive to the emotional/psychological elements of food and nutrition as she is to the physical ones, which was very important for me. Highly recommend!!

My relationship with food has grown so much. Rather than labeling certain meals as “good” or “bad”, I feel like I have such a better gauge on how a certain meal will make me feel. This was something I had always struggled with, so this shift has been incredibly valuable to me.

Working with her never feels limiting on my lifestyle or social life - she’s helped me learn how to fit in good nutritional choices without having to give anything up.
