Το διαιτολογικό της γραφείο το οποίο διατηρεί στην Καλλιθέα. ειδικεύεται στη διατροφική υποστήριξη κλινικών περιστατικών, στην απώλεια βάρους, στη διατροφή κατά την εγκυμοσύνη και τον θηλασμό, καθώς και στη διατροφική εκπαίδευση παιδιών και εφήβων.

Στόχος δεν είναι η στέρηση, οι απαγορεύσεις ή οι ενοχές, αλλά η προσέγγιση της πραγματικής διατροφής που χωρά την απόλαυση, τη συνειδητότητα και τη βιωσιμότητα στον χρόνο.
