 About Andrea
I have been working as a dietitian since 2000 and have my Certificate in Training in weight management. Prior to becoming a dietitian, I worked in the fitness industry as an aerobics instructor and personal trainer for seven years in Canada. I received my bachelor’s degree there and moved to sunny Florida to obtain my Master’s degree in Nutrition where my thesis was published in the Journal of Appetite. Once I got used to the hot weather, moving back to Canada was out of the question. With my extensive background in fitness I started working in a hospital based fitness center, assuming I would be concentrating on sports nutrition and adult weight management. To my surprise I quickly found that I loved working with children and teens just as much and created two weight management programs for this population. Even though I’m not working at this facility anymore, I hear that my programs are still thriving.
My philosophy in life is that moderation is the key to everything. Too much of anything is no good. If you are good 90% of the time, then the other 10 % is fair game. Do I eat perfectly all the time? Absolutely not! I am human just like everyone else. Life is too short to be perfect all the time. Being a mother of two small children I understand the necessity of quick, easy and healthy meals. I try to set a good example and practice what I preach.
I’m a firm believer in that exercise and proper nutrition is a lifetime commitment and not just a short term goal. I hate the word "diet"! If you go on a diet then you will go off the diet and then you are right back where you started.
I have worked with many different types of clients in many different situations such as pediatrics, bariatric patients, cardiac rehab, diabetics, weight management and sports nutrition. I have helped caterers and cafeterias create lower fat and healthier menus and I am even working with my child’s preschool to improve their lunch and snack options. I have had the opportunity to work with all of the local news channels in my area and even some national stations discussing numerous nutrition related topics over the year and have had articles published in local magazines as well.
I hope to work with you soon!
