“Ilana is wonderful. This was my first appointment with a dietitian and I was a little apprehensive - I did not have super high hopes but it was so empowering. I am plant-based and always worry providers will be judgmental around this, but Ilana simply asked to understand my reasons and then integrated my constraints into her approach. She asked smart questions, offered meaningful insights, and provided a structured, helpful, and engaging session. She came prepared to address my complex situation with clarity, compassion, and thoughtful strategies. She focuses on manageable and realistic goal-setting and I left with tools I was able to start using immediately. Her approach is informed by science and medicine and experience in a hospital setting. She is personable and funny and really pleasant to chat with and she doesn't make you feel judged or subjected to unrealistic or unreasonable expectations. I recommend her very highly to anyone considering working with her.”
