About Ana Beatriz

Hi, I’m Ana Beatriz Martin, MS, RDN. I’m passionate about helping people use nutrition to feel healthier, stronger, and more confident in their daily lives. I hold a Master’s in Nutritional Sciences from San Diego State University and completed my Dietetic Internship at UCSF Medical Center, where I worked with both adult and pediatric patients in inpatient and outpatient settings. I grew up in Brazil in a big family where food meant connection, culture, and care. Having trained and practiced in both Brazil and the U.S., I bring a multicultural and compassionate perspective to every session. My approach is collaborative and personalized, I’ll meet you where you are and help you build a plan that fits your lifestyle and goals. My aim is for you to leave each session feeling heard, encouraged, and confident in your next steps toward better health.

Approach to care

My approach blends evidence-based nutrition with a personalized, empathetic style. I believe meaningful change happens when nutrition care fits your life, not the other way around. Together, we’ll set realistic goals, explore the “why” behind your habits, and build strategies that feel sustainable and aligned with your values. You can expect a mix of education, motivation, and accountability, always within a judgment-free space. I use techniques such as motivational interviewing, intuitive eating principles, and collaborative problem-solving to help you make lasting progress. Whether you’re navigating a health condition or simply wanting to feel better day-to-day, I’ll meet you where you are and guide you with care.

Your first session with Ana Beatriz

Our first session is all about getting to know you. We’ll discuss your goals, medical and nutritional history, current eating patterns, and lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, and physical activity. I’ll listen carefully to understand what’s been challenging and what’s most important to you. From there, I’ll create a personalized care plan that includes realistic nutrition goals, simple action steps, and a clear plan for follow-up support. You’ll leave our session with clarity, practical tools, and a sense of direction, not a restrictive list of rules. My aim is for you to feel encouraged, understood, and confident that together we can make meaningful progress toward your health goals.
