About Dietcoachavailable
Empowering families across Croatia with evidence-based nutrition guidance and information.
Our Story
Dietcoachavailable was founded on a simple yet powerful belief: every family deserves access to professional nutrition guidance tailored to their unique lifestyle, preferences, and health goals. Based in Split, Croatia, we have grown into a trusted resource for families seeking to optimize their dietary habits through evidence-based consulting and personalized nutrition planning. Our journey began with a recognition that nutrition is not one-size-fits-all — what works for one family may not work for another, and professional guidance is essential to navigate the complexities of modern dietary choices.
We understand that today's families face unprecedented challenges when it comes to nutrition. Between busy schedules, conflicting dietary information, allergies, cultural preferences, and individual health considerations, creating a sustainable nutrition plan can feel overwhelming. This is why we assembled a team of certified nutrition professionals dedicated to demystifying nutrition science and translating it into practical, actionable strategies that families can implement daily. Our mission extends beyond simply providing meal suggestions — we educate, support, and empower families to make informed decisions about their food choices and develop lasting healthy habits.
Over the years, Dietcoachavailable has consulted with hundreds of families throughout Croatia, helping them address nutritional imbalances, manage dietary restrictions, and build sustainable eating patterns. We pride ourselves on our collaborative approach, working closely with families to understand their specific circumstances, challenges, and aspirations. Every consultation is an opportunity to listen, learn, and create a nutrition plan that truly fits into the family's life — not the other way around. Our success is measured not by quick fixes, but by the lasting positive changes families achieve through informed choices and consistent application of professional guidance.
Our Mission & Values
We are committed to transforming how families approach nutrition through professional consultation, education, and evidence-based guidance
Professional Excellence
We maintain the highest standards of professional expertise, ensuring every consultation is grounded in current nutrition science, best practices, and validated research. Our team continuously updates their knowledge to provide families with the most relevant and accurate guidance available.
Family-Centered Approach
Every family is unique, with distinct dietary needs, cultural backgrounds, and lifestyle constraints. We design personalized nutrition plans that respect individual preferences and circumstances, making it realistic for families to implement sustainable changes that stick.

We believe informed families make better choices. Beyond consultation, we educate families about nutritional principles, food science, and label reading so they develop the knowledge and confidence to make sound dietary decisions independently.

We reject one-size-fits-all approaches, taking time to understand each family's unique circumstances, preferences, and goals before developing tailored plans.

Based in Split, we understand Croatian food culture, local ingredient availability, and the dietary patterns of Mediterranean families in our community.
What Families Are Saying
"Marija helped us completely rethink our family's approach to meals. My children were picky eaters, and I felt lost trying to balance nutrition with their preferences. Marija listened to our challenges, understood our budget constraints, and created a plan that actually works for us. We are very happy with the guidance we received, which helped our family build better eating habits. Most importantly, mealtime is less stressful now."
Anouk Petrović
Family from Zagreb
"As parents of a teenage athlete, we needed guidance on proper nutrition to support performance without obsessing over it. Ivan's approach was refreshingly balanced — he focused on helping our son understand food as fuel for his sport while maintaining a healthy overall perspective. The information he provided was scientific but understandable, and our son actually engaged with the process rather than resisting it."
Nikola Marković & Jelena Marković
Family from Split
"Our family has multiple food allergies, which made meal planning incredibly complicated. Petra took the time to map out safe alternatives, showed us how to read labels carefully, and educated us about cross-contamination risks. She created meal plans that are not just safe but genuinely delicious. We finally feel confident that we're meeting nutritional needs while keeping everyone protected."

Our Commitment to You
At Dietcoachavailable, we recognize that seeking professional nutrition guidance is an investment in your family's health and wellbeing. We are committed to honoring that trust by approaching every consultation with integrity, competence, and genuine care. We understand that nutrition is deeply personal — it intersects with culture, family traditions, budget realities, and individual health circumstances. Rather than imposing generic advice, we work collaboratively with families to develop solutions that reflect their authentic needs and values.
Our team stays current with nutrition science through continuing education, professional development, and engagement with peer-reviewed research. We are transparent about what evidence supports and what remains uncertain. We acknowledge that nutrition science evolves, and recommendations may shift as new evidence emerges. This commitment to scientific integrity means families can trust that our guidance is grounded in the best available evidence, not marketing hype or personal bias.
We view each consultation as the beginning of an ongoing relationship of support and learning. Our goal is not just to tell families what to eat, but to equip them with the knowledge and confidence to make sound dietary decisions independently, long after our consultation concludes. When families develop this understanding and autonomy, they achieve sustainable improvements that persist for years to come.
