About Aracelis

Hi, I'm Aracelis. I bring 20 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian, with a BS in General Science and Dietetics. My career spans clinical and hospital settings, private practice, corporate wellness, and community health, all focused on helping people build healthier relationships with food. When I’m not seeing clients, I love hiking, cooking, reading, singing, and dancing. I practice here in Manhattan, Kansas, and I’m grateful for the chance to blend science with real life sustainability in your nutrition journey.

Approach to care

My care philosophy centers on grounding every plan in evidence and compassion. I stay current with science and apply a Health At Every Size (HAES) informed, holistic approach that meets you where you are, without judgment. We’ll work together to translate research into practical steps that fit your life, preferences, and values. You’ll have clear actions, accountability, and a focus on long term habits rather than quick fixes. By honoring your whole person, we build sustainable change that feels doable and respectful.

Your first session with Aracelis

During our first appointment, our conversation is all about you. We’ll review your medical history and lab work, dive into your relationship with food, and establish short term goals. We’ll also start building a practical meal plan and discuss any biometrics to tailor the plan. There is no pressure to have every answer ready. This is a collaborative space where we’ll learn what matters most to you and set a clear, attainable path forward.
