Valentina Lemes

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD) with over 5 years of counseling experience. Personally, my mother inspired me to become a dietitian. My whole life, I watched her yo-yo diet, exercise to burn, and develop a terrible relationship with food. I lost my mother to cancer when she was only 47. I learned that life is like a vapor, gone too fast. I hope to help individuals end the yo-yo, start enjoying life, build a level of fitness they can be proud of, and as a result be all that they were intended to be. I personally enjoy running very much, and will be training for my next PR soon! I specialize in working with clients looking to manage their weight, enhance their body composition (fat loss and muscle gain), optimize athletic performance, and improve their overall wellness.

I enjoy staying active outdoors the most! My favorite outdoor hobbies include early morning runs, long walks with my dog Bruce, and caring for my plants and flowers on my front porch. To rest and recharge I love sipping on a cup of coffee on my porch with a good book and the company of the occasional cardinal.

I believe that the core of nutrition success lies in sustainable habit change that’s individualized to your life’s complexities and values. I walk with my clients, taking baby steps towards sustainable changes that will compound into lasting results! Lastly, I thrive to help you have peace with food, leaving disordered eating and yo-yo dieting behind for good.
