I visited Natalya Barash for Nutrition and Dietetics. She has already helped me with eating meals more regularly and aiming for well balanced meals. She was very knowledgeable, and I appreciated how she listened to me but also gave me very helpful guidance. I look forward to seeing her again to keep working on my personal nutrition goals.
