Julia Celestini, Registered Dietitian

Julia is one of the hardest working people I've met. She works extremely hard on her craft and is very professional. Would highly recomend working with Julia with your health challenges.

Finding Julia changed my life! After having struggled with chronic IBD symptoms for over 40 years I now have a quiet gut. Julia guided me step by step through the FODMAP diet and helped me identify my trigger foods. I now am in control and have never felt better. Thank you!!

My first experience with seeing a dietician was amazing, because of Julia! She made me feel so safe and comfortable to say whatever I have been struggling with and the improvements that I want to make. I'm not often comfortable discussing food, eating habits, my concerns/goals regarding food, etc., however Julia's warm, supportive, and friendly yet professional demeanor allowed me to have such a positive experience that would definitely make me want to come back to see her again. Julia was not only able to provide me with resources and strategies to tackle my goals, but you also educated me on the reasoning behind the plans we were making for me by explaining how digestion works in the human body, how our bodies break down different foods/nutrients, how everyone's body works differently, etc. By educating her clients I think she's making a long-term impact on helping to understand nutrition holistically and helping to make more informed choices in the future! Now that I have a deeper understanding, I feel that it will be easier to be mindful of these things as well. I felt amazing after my appointment with Julia. I feel more confident in knowing what's best for my body and to ensure it's getting everything it needs! Thank you for such an enjoyable experience. I will definitely be in touch with you again soon to follow-up!

I had a fantastic experience working with Julia. I had been struggling to manage my IBS for about 4 years. I spoke to multiple family doctors, a naturopath and a GI specialist over the years and had no improvements in my symptoms. I was told by almost all of them to "take probiotics and go on the low FODMAP diet", with no additional support or reassurance that things CAN get better. When I finally decided to seek out a dietician, I admit that I wasn't very hopeful that I would ever be able to manage my symptoms. After my first appointment with Julia, I immediately became more confident that I would be able to get better. She reassured me that there are steps that you can take to manage IBS; it just takes a little bit of time and experimentation. Julia thoroughly reviewed my diet and lifestyle to understand me holistically. With each visit, she provided me with minor adjustments to make (rather than a whole lot of changes at once). These minor adjustments were achievable; not daunting at all. I started seeing improvements within a couple of weeks. Julia is well-informed of the current research in nutrition science, so I was always confident in the suggestions she made for me. Whenever I had a question about anything, she took the time to answer it, and if she didn't know the answer, she would do the research and respond back to me in a timely manner. She is always just an email away if you have any questions. If you are considering a dietician, I highly recommend Julia. If you don't live in the Burlington area (or simply can't visit the clinic because of COVID), don't worry, because she offers virtual appointments, which are extremely convenient.
