Welcome! I’m Anya, a family nutrition specialist with more than 10 years of experience helping families build healthy, positive relationships with food.

 

I specialize in nutrition counseling for children ages 0–5, supporting families through important milestones such as introducing solids, navigating picky eating, meal planning, toilet training, and establishing balanced eating habits early in life. In addition to one-on-one counseling, I also offer community workshops designed to provide practical nutrition strategies and education for parents.

 

My goal is to help parents feel confident, supported, and empowered when it comes to nourishing their children.

​

My passion for nutrition began during my travels in Greece, where I experienced firsthand the healing and empowering role food can play in our lives. That experience transformed my perspective on nutrition—from viewing food through guilt or restriction to seeing it as a source of strength, energy, and nourishment.

​

After earning my degree in nutrition from the University of Vermont, I worked as a public health nutritionist for the health department, where I discovered my passion for supporting pregnant women and young children. I later transitioned into a home-visiting nutrition role with a local nonprofit, allowing me to build deeper relationships with families and support long-term behavior change around nutrition. These experiences gave me the opportunity to work with families from diverse backgrounds and better understand each family’s unique needs.

 

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors in Vermont with my husband, two children, and our energetic dog, whether running, skiing, coaching basketball, or cooking with my family.
