Background

I am an ASDD-registered dietitian, trained at the Geneva School of Health Sciences (Haute École de Santé de Genève). I support patients in achieving their health goals through a personalized, compassionate, and practical approach.

After eight years at Hirslanden Clinique des Grangettes, including three years as Lead Dietitian for the Nutrition Department, I cared for patients in internal medicine, surgery, oncology, and intensive care. In recent years, I have developed my outpatient practice to provide individualized nutritional care tailored to each patient's specific needs and goals.

I firmly believe that a balanced diet should become a sustainable part of everyday life rather than rely on overly restrictive eating patterns. For this reason, nutrition education is at the heart of my practice: by understanding the principles of nutrition, patients are empowered to make informed choices and gradually become more confident and independent in managing their diet.

My goal is to help patients build realistic, sustainable eating habits that fit their lifestyle, within a supportive environment grounded in the latest scientific evidence.
