About Patience Owunwanne

With over 10 years of experience as a registered dietitian, I have helped countless individuals achieve food freedom and improve their relationship with food. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Nutritional Science and Chemistry from Howard University, which provides a strong foundation for my work. I have a special passion for working with individuals who may have difficulty implementing changes, such as those with ADHD, autism, or other challenges. I understand that navigating wellness and nutrition can be overwhelming, especially when struggling with issues like controlling food intake, managing cravings, and dealing with stress related to food and eating. But don't worry, that's where I come in! Working together, we will create a customized plan to help you achieve your health and nutrition goals, while also addressing any underlying issues related to disordered eating. As someone who loves to travel and try new foods and restaurants, I know how important it is to have a healthy relationship with food. That's why I became a disordered eating dietitian-to help others gain confidence in their food choices and their bodies. I believe in the power of education and understanding, and I will provide you with the tools and knowledge to make informed decisions about your health. If you're ready to break free from the cycle of disordered eating, stress, and confusion, let's work together. I am here to support you every step of the way, with compassion, expertise, and a friendly, professional approach. So whether you're dealing with an eating disorder, disordered eating patterns, or simply want to learn how to fuel your body in a healthy way, I am here to help. Let's take the first step towards your food freedom today!
