Serena Benali, BSc, RD, Owner of In Good Nutrition

Serena works with clients to unlock whatever is holding them back so they can transform their relationship with food while working towards their weight goal. Serena uses the framework of the three A’s to embrace the complexity of behaviour change: awareness, acceptance, and action.

Serena knows first-hand how challenging it can be to lose weight and overcome the mentality and obstacles that hold people back from embodying their best self. After struggling with her weight for the majority of her life with one failed fad diet after another, Serena stopped the diet cycle and lost 100 pounds. Serena made an enormous shift in her mentality and developed a new mindset. She learned the skills to nourish her body and mind all while getting to a healthy weight. Serena’s personal struggle and triumph gave her the drive to become a Dietitian.
