About Aprilla
Hi there! I am Aprilla, a Los Angeles native Pescatarian Plant-based Registered Dietitian. A little bit about me: I grew up in a bilingual, multicultural household as a proud CODA (Child of a Deaf Adult), which has shaped my empathy and the way I connect with others. I’m comfortable communicating in American Sign Language, and I love learning about people’s cultural traditions.Especially when food plays a role! When I’m not supporting clients, you can usually find me out in nature. I enjoy hiking along the Pacific coastline, visiting botanical gardens, or spending time near water and animals, which keep me grounded. Why Nurtrition? I am passionate about all things Food Related. My ongoing curiosity stems from the mechanisms of Functional Foods, Food Synergy, and Gut Microbiome Health.
Approach to care
I believe nourishment should feel supportive, enjoyable, and aligned with your real life. I would be honored to walk with you on your journey to feeling stronger, healthier, and more at peace with food. ​ I am deeply committed to helping individuals cultivate a positive and sustainable relationship with food through evidence-based approaches, including Health At Every Size® and Intuitive Eating principles. Trauma Informed Care. Heath At Every Size Approach. All Foods Fit Foundation. I am here to provide guidance and support with Generalized Nutrition, Pre-Diabetes/Existing Diabetes, High Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, Metabolic Syndrome, General Weight Loss, and Disordered Eating Patterns.
Your first session with Aprilla
My work in the clinical and outpatient setting has been immensely rewarding, and I am driven by the opportunity to improve health outcomes and enhance overall well-being for every patient and family I serve. Clients working with me can expect a strong sense of self-empowerment, weekly consistent support, and a truly individualized approach to nutrition and goal-setting. My care plans are tailored to each person’s medical needs and personal lifestyle, ensuring meaningful and measurable progress. My approach is deeply rooted in trauma-informed care — your comfort, lived experiences, and well-being are always at the center of our work together."
