personalized nutrition counseling/live classes/online course

Welcome to Begin Again Nutrition! I established this company for all of us who have found ourselves in the spirit of readiness to Begin Again on our health journey! As a behavior change expert, I have been helping people reach their health and wellness goals for the last 15 years! Previously, I owned True 10 Fitness, providing personal training, fitness boot camps, yoga, and indoor cycling classes. 

After witnessing thousands of lives transformed, I knew I needed to reach non-exercisers too. As a Registered Dietitian, my clinical practice involves online nutrition counseling, education, and functional lab testing, which allows me to dive deeper with my clients and get to the root cause of health issues. My area of expertise is in behavior change related to health, specializing in weight loss and chronic disease prevention and management. In addition to online personalized nutrition counseling, I work as a group therapy facilitator in a mental health and substance abuse recovery setting where we explore mindset, motivations, beliefs, and habits related to self-care.  As time permits, I provide on-site and online seminars to large groups on health-related topics. I love providing nutrition and lifestyle education in person and online for employee wellness programs and corporate wellness presentations. On a personal note, I am a doctoral student on my way to completing a Doctor of Clinical Nutrition program. 

My clients experience improved weight management, gastrointestinal function, blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and reported feelings of well-being with less stress. We are all meant to feel well and the journey to creating a healthy body can be an enjoyable process! The beauty of choosing to Begin Again one more time is that now you will have the support and guidance of a compassionate counseling professional who will share expert nutrition and education techniques with you! I am excited to help you Begin Again and create lasting results! 

My name is Nicole Viena, and I hold a Bachelor of Science in Health Science from Hawai’i Pacific University, where I was a student-athlete on both athletic and academic scholarships. During my time as an athlete, I often struggled with properly fueling my body, which led to periods of feeling unwell, both mentally and physically. This experience opened my eyes to the critical role nutrition plays in overall wellness, and sparked my passion for this field.

Originally, I began my career in veterinary medicine, but ultimately shifted my focus to human health. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Nutrition and Dietetics at Grand Canyon University with the goal of becoming a Registered Dietitian (RD). My strong interest in the preventative side of healthcare naturally led me to explore functional nutrition and its whole-person approach to wellness.

I believe that health is highly individual and not a one-size-fits-all matter. I’m passionate about giving back to the community and educating others on the benefits of a holistic approach to healthcare- nurturing the mind, body, and soul. I’m particularly interested in how nutritional science can be used to help prevent and manage chronic diseases.

I’m excited to be part of a field that empowers people to live healthier, more balanced lives.
