Violet Pastorkova-Jaouen Joins Wheeler Family Health & Wellness Team
Violet Pastorkova-Jaouen, RDN, CD-N, has joined Wheeler’s Family Health & Wellness Center as a registered dietitian nutritionist. With 18 years of experience in nutrition and 24 years in dietetics, Violet brings extensive expertise in nutritional assessment, education, and counseling to a wide range of patients managing various diseases and conditions. Originally from Elizaville, New York, Violet has worked across multiple settings, including traumatic brain injury centers, rehabilitation facilities, nursing homes, and comprehensive weight management programs, with a special focus on bariatrics.
Fluent in Spanish and studying French, Violet’s multicultural background has fostered a deep appreciation for diverse cultures, foods, and languages. Reflecting on her Ecuadorian mother’s influence, Violet shares, “My mother taught me that food is life, good medicine, and magic. She instilled in me the belief that you are what you eat, so nourish your body, don't just feed it. She initiated this lifestyle in me that I hope to ignite in my patients.”
Violet will be teaching kids cooking classes in our
Bristol Family Health & Wellness Center beginning Monday, November 4th.
Wheeler's nutrition services are provided thanks to the philanthropic support of the Corsini and Brantner families.
