Our Approach

Rooted in compassion, informed by science, and sustained by the knowledge that all bodies deserve respect and dignity, the dietitians at Numena Nutrition are here to help you unravel all of the complexities around eating and your health. 

 

These are some of our key thoughts when working with clients:

  • Everyone deserves inclusive and accessible healthcare.

  • We are not the expert of you, YOU ARE! We will honor and respect you and your lived experiences.

  • Satisfaction is key to a sustainable relationship with food.

  • EVERYONE deserves a nourishing relationship with food regardless of identity, class, diagnosis, or body shape.
