“Helena helps me clear hurdles I'm facing. I've been having a hard time preparing breakfast, so today we looked up breakfast recipes that I can prepare in bulk and then eat thought out the week. I'm really excited to try protein pancakes, and now I'm not only excited for breakfast, but it also feels more manageable!”

About Helena Ramadan
This provider is not licensed in the state of CT, MA, MD, NY, IN, OK, OR, PA, TN, HI, MT, IL, VT
Hello, I'm Helena! I'm a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), a health coach, and a mom, and I am always loved being active and eating healthy. I have been a dietitian for 10 years and a certified health coach for six years. As a dietitian, I have worked at two outpatient eating disorder programs and two children's hospitals. When getting my nutrition degree, the school I attended was completely vegetarian, so I also have a lot of experience with vegetarian nutrition. I currently live in the Tacoma, WA area with my husband and two sons. "My goal is to help my clients improve their nutrition and health in the most stress-free way possible, using scientifically-backed information. I believe that all foods can fit in a healthy eating plan, that nutrition can and should be individualized, that restrictive diets are detrimental in the long run, and that you can be healthy and enjoy a positive relationship with food regardless of your body size or shape.
I meet my clients where they are instead of coming in with a pre-packaged plan based solely on their medical condition. Setting goals with clients is done together in partnership, designed to gradually move them to where they want to be in a realistic, sustainable way."During your first session with me, I will ask a lot of questions in order to get a really thorough background history. (I am a note-taker, so I will do that too.) That is because I want to ensure that I have a complete picture of your nutrition and your health!
Once that part is covered, we will talk about the reason you are seeing a dietitian and what you hope to accomplish. By the end of session, we will have worked together to come up with goals that feel both meaningful and attainable. I really enjoy meal planning, so if it's appropriate, I will try to make sure that you leave session with practical ideas for what to eat."

Helena helps me make decisions that work for me. She really helps me understand that sometimes the things that work and don't work change, and it's okay to adapt

Helena helps me make realistic, achievable goals that focus on more than just my weight and she also just has these gems for how to eat in moderation and how to deal with family members
More than 1 year agoInitials hiddenSource: Partner
First of all, Helena helps me know what I don't know and then learn. Like, today I literally realized that I didn't know what makes a good healthy or unhealthy, and I asked her and she explained it so kindly and thoroughly. She's also helping me measure success beyond the scale, and it's really helping me feel good about myself

I feel really safe with Helena. I can be honest with her and ask her about things I'm thinking about and she gives an honest, kind, and informed perspective

Working with Helena has changed the way I act because she's helped to change the way I think about things. For example, previously I only thought about exercise in terms of how it would help me lose weight or how many calories back it would give me. She suggested the revolutionary idea that exercise should be about what I enjoy, and I've since starting swimming and am looking into kickboxing, both of which I really enjoy. She's also helped me recognize my hunger and fullness cues for the first time ever

Helena helps me change the way I think about things. Like, I've been feeling hungry the past few days, but haven't been eating more in response to that hunger. Helena helped me understand that I probably feel more hungry because I'm exercising more. I'm using more energy than I've been in the past, so it's actually okay for me to eat more
