Allow me to introduce myself! I’m Cristina (she/her), the Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor who’s here to support you in finding the passion and joy in food and nutrition.

I am trained to provide support and promote learning by assisting you in honing in on what is important to you, and meeting you where you are. This means that I don’t guide the sessions, you do. I won’t have a predetermined agenda or a checklist of things to tell you about how you should eat. My goal is always to work towards your nutrition goal. My hope is that my clients see me not only as the dietitian they seek out for support, but someone who they can truly see themselves talking to without fear of judgement. This was the premise when choosing a name for my practice, as down-to-earth and grounded very accurately reflect how I want my business to be portrayed, but also perfectly describes me, both as a dietitian and as a person. (Aterra is a play on words, stemming from the Sicilian "a terra", meaning grounded. Cristina is first generation Sicilian-American.)
