About Essence
Who are we?
We are Registered Dietitians with Master’s of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics, highly specialized and trained in nutrition and wellness.
What do we do?
We provide evidence-based nutrition counseling with a holistic edge tailored to your individual needs. We also serve corporations, groups, and are available for supermarket tours, pantry clean outs, public seminars, and media opportunities and promotions.
How do we do it?
We know nutrition is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Whatever your age or stage, we can create your own nutrition plan that suits your needs. We work with you side by side so that you can successfully achieve your ideal nutrition and wellness goals. At Essence Nutrition, support is offered through email, Skype, FaceTime, telephone and in-office consultations.
Why Essence?
We understand that you may feel overwhelmed and confused with so much food-related information. Sometimes it is quite difficult to know where to begin. At Essence Nutrition, we will provide you with a customized state-of-the-art nutritional experience. We know food is sacred and means different things to different people; we’ll honor that. We offer personalized packages that suit your needs, schedules and preferences throughout one on one consultations with board certified Registered Dietitians.
Let Us Help You.

Corporate Nutrition
Wellness Wonders
Essence Nutrition is pleased to offer several corporate nutrition options to choose from which can be selected a la carte or as a package to benefit your team members. Workplace wellness programs with a nutrition consultant can generate major savings for your bottom line, increase employee productivity, and cut down on sick days.
Menu Consulting
Menu Magic
Essence Nutrition is pleased to offer restaurant nutrition consulting services as well. There is tremendous pressure for restaurant establishments to accommodate guest demands for nutrition while dining out. Investing in a dietitian in order to build menus that offer healthy options, cater to dietary restrictions (e.g. gluten-free, raw, dairy-free, accommodating diabetics, pregnant women, Paleo diets, etc.), and still taste delicious allows organizations to fulfill and stay one step ahead of the dynamic consumer demand landscape. Many states are even moving toward mandatory nutrition fact labeling on menus.
