Alejandra Ortiz

About Alejandra

Hi, I'm Alejandra, a registered dietitian with a passion for helping people feel empowered around food! I have experience working with a wide range of nutrition concerns, including weight management, eating disorders, and prenatal nutrition. Whether you're navigating pregnancy, working on healing your relationship with food, or seeking more balance in your day-to-day eating habits, I’m here to support you. My goal is to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we can work together toward your goals in a way that feels sustainable.

Approach to care

My approach is collaborative and rooted in motivational interviewing. I don’t believe in cookie-cutter plans, instead, I take time to understand your unique lifestyle, preferences, medical history, and values so we can create something that truly fits. I use a weight-inclusive, non-diet approach and above all, I aim to support both your physical and emotional well-being, while keeping your voice at the center of our work together.

Your first session with Alejandra

Our first session is all about getting to know you. We’ll take time to discuss your health history, current eating patterns, lifestyle, goals, and any challenges you’re facing. You can expect a lot of listening and thoughtful, open-ended questions, no judgment, no pressure. By the end of the session, we’ll identify a few realistic, personalized steps and start building a plan that aligns with what matters most to you.
