Hi, my name is Jessie Valentine and I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and certified yoga instructor. In addition to these things, I also have a background in psychology, and I’m so happy to be able to use my skills and knowledge to help you!
My approach to nutrition, or my “personal food philosophy” was formed as a result of my experiences, education, and through learning from others. Although I follow a plant-based diet (hence the numerous vegan recipes on my blog!), I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition. Instead, I take an integrative approach to wellness that focuses on intuitive eating and helping people connect with their bodies to achieve improved health & well-being.
My professional background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Hofstra University, a dual bachelor’s degree/master’s degree in nutrition from Long Island University-Post, completion of an accredited dietetic internship through Long Island University, and completion of a 200-hour yoga teacher training through Emerge Yoga & Wellness.

Hi Jess, thanks for visiting https://vegiglow.com/ and liking my post. I too studied nutritional science, but sadly, didn’t pursue a degree in nutrition, although my passion is food and it’s wonderful byproduct of health & wellness. Best of luck to you in your studies.
