RISE ABOVE

Daria Ventura, MS, RD, CDN has always had a passion for food, cooking, and improving the health and well-being of others. These passions inspired her to launch Daria Ventura Nutrition, a private nutrition counseling and consulting practice, in 2010.

 

Daria’s mission is to help as many people as possible improve the quality of their life by taking a whole-person approach to healthy living and emphasizing diet and nutrition, exercise and movement, sleep and relaxation, stress, and relationships. She motivates and empowers her clients to make changes in their lives by providing science-based healthy living advice and sustainable methods. Daria prides herself on developing customized nutrition plans to fit her client’s nutrition and wellness goals, food preferences, and lifestyle. She encourages her clients to make small, realistic lifestyle changes and teaches them how to develop a healthy and positive relationship with food. 

 

Prior to founding Daria Ventura Nutrition, Daria worked at The Gym (now Equinox), Keri Glassman, A Nutritious Life, Mohawk Day Camp and Country Day School, and Scarsdale Medical Group.
