Clinical & part time independent dietician in Luxembourg
I work as a clinical dietician at a hospital in Luxembourg ( Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg - CHL ), where I primarily deal with various pathological conditions. Additionally, I am a part-time independent dietician, conducting one-on-one consultations mainly with individuals who struggle with unhealthy eating habits. My focus is on guiding them towards developing better habits for long-term health.

I'm doing the job I've always wanted to do. My own relationship with food has been a roller-coaster my entire life, but after 26 years, the roller-coaster has finally ended. I have finally found a healthy relationship with food and working out.
​
My goal is to help people who find themselves in a similar situation build a healthy relationship with food, losing weight in a healthy way, without having to restrict themselves from their favorite foods and meals.
Story telling
In 1996, I was born into a loving family of 6, the youngest of 4 girls.
Food was always an important subject in our household and my parents always made sure that my sisters and I were served nutritious and healthy meals. While I never liked sports, my sisters all played basketball at quite a young age.
When going to their games and supporting their team, I would always mention to everyone:
as I was enjoying my snacks. :-)
Food has always been something very important to me from quite a young age...
''I will never be doing any type of sport when I grow up",

The older I got, the more weight I put on. I was never bullied for it, and no one in my family treated me differently nor gave me the feeling that was overweight. My parents on the other hand, got some comments at some point, so then took me to a pediatrician, because they were afraid I'd have health issues as an adult if my weight continued to increase. My dad used to tell my mom:
"I'm sure she'll grow out of it herself when she's older! "
I still remember to this day sitting in the pediatrician's office, as he showed me the food pyramid, and all the foods I shouldn't be eating...
He specifically said :
This was the first time someone openly declared that I was 'overweight' and he put me on a strict diet.
" If you eat one croissant, you'll have to go on a one hour run to burn off these calories!"
From that day forward, I never accepted my body anymore for what it was. l always thought I wasn't enough.

I remember that especially pastries was something I avoided until my mid-twenties.
The impact was profound, and it influenced my mindset to the extent that, in my 20s, I found myself restricting various foods and engaging in excessive workouts, sometimes up to three times a day. This struggle with body image and self-worth has been a constant challenge, stemming from that moment when I was told I wasn't "enough" by a pediatrician who didn't choose his words very wisely.
Today I'm a Registered Dietician, doing the job I've always wanted to do. I know my relationship with food has been a roller-coaster my entire life, but after 26 years, the roller-coaster has finally ended. I have finally found a healthy relationship with food and working out.
My goal is to help adults, as well as kids, who find themselves in a similar situation build a healthy relationship with food, losing weight in a healthy way, without having to restrict themselves from their favorite foods and meals.
Wearing a size zero should never be considered the gold standard for being beautiful or healthy. I believe that every body type and shape is different and has its own beauty. What matters more than being skinny is being healthy.
