do amazing things
Each of us has a relationship with food that is directly connected to our environment and experiences.
Our nutrition counseling focuses on helping you connect with your innate body wisdom. Being aware and able to understand your own body wisdom is one of the most powerful outcomes of counseling.
Rasa Nutrition is committed to providing a private and inclusive space so that you have an opportunity to discover your own wellness philosophy. We help you learn how to center yourself and use tools to find authenticity in your nutritional health. Together, we will create a foundation for success and resilience, anchored in nourishment rather than restriction or restraint, to create a sense of belonging and joy.

"Rasa patiently and intelligently guided me not only with my nutrition but also with getting support for my eating disorder. She has stayed committed to helping me. Rasa is extremely intelligent, always current on the latest research and explains the science behind her recommendations. She educates me about nutrition to support my running as well as how to fuel my body for life."

I acknowledge and value that each of us brings a unique culture and history forward with us as we grow. I recognize you as a unique individual and am honored to work with you. I will respect your culture, identity, and significance.
I am constantly learning and unlearning in order to provide nutrition counseling in a weight and health-consumed world that promotes harmful nutritional ideologies, fitness information and marginalizes humans based on their size, weight, sexual orientation, ability, health, race, sex, age, and cultural backgrounds.

“Dear Rasa, it has been an enjoyable experience to work with you over the past year, especially in putting together our sports nutrition seminar, which I believe was a great success. It is one thing to talk about getting a couple hundred people and quite another to see them come into the arena having decided to come to the event we planned.”
