 About Adriana
I feel that sometimes we look for a magic wand to help us solve our problems, and this is only human, but when it comes to weight management it is not about magic, I feel it is more about creating balance between our bodies and our minds and this is why I decided to pursue my education in the area of Health Promotion and Dietetics. Weight Management requires commitment and dedication and I feel that with caring coaching this can be achieved.
I am a Licensed/Registered Dietitian and Certified Health Educator Specialist and by having lived in the Border area with the U.S. and Mexico for many years I have learned to appreciate both cultures. Also, being bilingual in English and Spanish has helped my clients feel confident that their nutritional and health needs will be understood and addressed in a culturally appropriate manner.
I earned my Master of Science in Family Consumer Sciences- Human Nutrition from Las Cruces, New Mexico State University and became a Registered/Licensed Dietitian with the Commission on Dietetics Registration. I obtained my Bachelor in Science- Health Promotion from the University of Texas in El Paso with a Minor in Management and became a Certified Health Educator Specialist with the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing, Inc. I am also Serve Safe Certified with the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation.
The combination of my Health Promotion and Nutrition degrees has given me an opportunity to coach my clients to achieve realistic and achievable goals. I help my clients understand that we all go thru different stages of change and that together we will find ways to find solutions to the barriers they might be facing in moving from a stage of resistance into a stage of action and maintenance.
Fun Facts About Me
- I like to travel with my husband, we have visited Mexico, USA, Europe and Asia. I am so impressed as to all the cultures and foods that are out there and I hope we keep on traveling and maybe some day visit South America.
- I like sports, like cycling, jogging and golf. I am not a professional athlete, but I like to stay active and I find that having an exercise partner makes a difference in challenging yourself.
- I love to work in the area of health promotion and nutrition, so I am always looking for new books to read and new courses to take. One reason for which I love to work in the health field is because it gives me an opportunity to serve my community, like local rehabilitation hospitals, centers for employee assistance and other.
- I am an instructor for the University of Texas in El Paso, El Paso Community College and PARK University, I find this combination interesting because I keep meeting new and interesting people all the time and I always learn something new from all of them and I hope they learn something new from me, too.
Testimonials
I wanted to take a minute to thank you for the wonderful program. This program has transformed my life for the better. Adriana has helped me so much - she has been so receptive to my needs. She took the time each week to explain and make sure I understood the idea behind the lesson - and beyond. Can't thank you both enough,
