“I had such a fantastic appointment! Thea really took the time to listen to my concerns and gave me some great advice. I appreciated that she didn't push me to make drastic changes to my diet right away, but instead focused on easing me into it and prioritizing my health over just losing weight quickly. It was so refreshing to see her focus on what really matters, and I'm grateful for the accountability she provided. The attention to detail was impressive, especially when she took the time to research the foods I eat and went through calorie intake with me. I absolutely adored her and will definitely be returning for more appointments. I can't wait for my biweekly visits and will definitely be recommending her to my friends.”

I had my first appointment with Thea, and I must say, it was an incredibly thorough and enlightening experience. She took the time to understand my lifestyle, dietary habits, and health goals in great detail. Her approach was not just about prescribing a diet plan but about educating me on making sustainable and healthy choices. She was patient, listened to me, answered all my questions, and made me feel comfortable throughout the session. She encouraging and gave me hope for healing. I left feeling empowered and motivated to embark on my wellness journey with her guidance. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking to improve their nutrition and overall health!

This review is after the first initial appointment.
She was a wonderful listener, very charismatic and easy to talk to, understanding rather than critical over the information shared, and she was able to make a plan revolving around my current food situations rather than giving me a plan that well out of my realm of my capabilities. We even had connectivity issues during our video call and rather than cancelling the account, she was willing to work with me to reconnect and continue the appointment. I would recommend this dietician to any and everyone!

Thea was welcoming and understanding of my goals. She took into consideration my health concerns (PCOS and High Cholesterol) and worked with me on developing a plan that was both reasonable and simple. Looking forward to working closely with her on my weight loss journey.

Had a virtual consultation with Thea, she was great. She reached out to me prior to the meeting and gave me all the info I needed. She made sure to use every minute of our initial meeting. She was very informative and understanding. I will continue to work with her and I feel very comfortable about it. My wife is even going to start with her post-partum because we were so impressed with my experience with her.
