I am a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition an affiliate of Columbia University.
I received my training to practice Health Counseling at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, which is the only nutrition school integrating all the different dietary theories—combining the knowledge of traditional philosophies with modern concepts like the USDA food pyramid, the glycemic index, the Zone and raw foods.
I was trained in more than one hundred dietary theories and studied a variety of practical lifestyle coaching methods. Drawing on this knowledge, I will help you create a completely personalized “roadmap to health” that suits your unique body, lifestyle, preferences, and goals.

Testimonials
. " Laura Rivkin provided nutrition counseling to help me improve my food choices and reduce my unhealthy snacking. Laura spent a great deal of time and energy making sure that I had all the information I needed to make positive changes. During the week between appointments, she emailed and called me to check on my progress. And, most importantly, she made me feel good about myself, reassuring me that the process of change was difficult and that I needed to be gentle with myself."
"Since I began working with Laura, not only have I lost weight, but I have established new, healthier routines that make me feel so much more energetic and ready to face the day! Laura always greets me with a smile and makes me feel that I can accomplish my goals. Thank you, Laura -- for a wonderful experience. What could have been a very stressful experience was made so much better by Laura’s excellent, personalized care".
