Perinatal Nutrition Support With As You Are Nutrition
At As You Are Nutrition, we provide compassionate, judgment-free perinatal nutrition support during pregnancy and postpartum. Whether you’re managing nausea, gestational diabetes, anemia, or simply want guidance on nourishing yourself and your baby, our dietitians meet you where you’re at. We offer individualized nutrition visits, group classes, and culturally inclusive care—both in-person and via telehealth.
Perinatal nutrition is about more than just “eating right.” It’s about honoring hunger cues, balancing energy with carbs, proteins, and fats, and finding foods that feel good for your body and your culture. From debunking myths like “eating for two” to helping you enjoy your favorite meals safely, we support every pregnancy with evidence-based, weight-inclusive care. If you’re seeking nutrition support during pregnancy or postpartum, As You Are Nutrition is here to guide you with compassion and expertise.
Meeting You Where You Are: Exploring Virtual and In-Person Dietitian Services

Virtual sessions include secure tools for meal planning, food tracking, and even collaborative care with family members—all covered by most insurance plans. Prefer face-to-face connection? Our in-person appointments offer a welcoming space to slow down and feel supported. Wherever you are—Napa, Sonoma, Santa Rosa, or anywhere in Northern California—we’ll meet you where you are.
