About Barbara

Hi, I'm Barbara. I practice in Morro Bay, bringing 20 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian to help people build healthier, more sustainable relationships with food. I earned my BS in Nutritional Science and have worked in clinical and hospital settings, skilled nursing facilities, hemodialysis centers, and senior nutrition programs. I’m grateful for the chance to turn science into practical steps you can live with, and I value the trust you place in this partnership. I also carry the CSG credential. In my downtime I love walking, hiking, and kayaking, activities that keep me grounded in the outdoors I care about. I’m thrilled to meet you.

Approach to care

My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and directly focused on real lives. We'll work from a Health At Every Size, weight-neutral perspective that honors your values while we pursue sustainable changes. I translate science into clear, actionable steps and provide steady accountability without judgment. I believe in a holistic view that considers sleep, stress, relationships with food, and physical activity as parts of your well-being. Education and partnership help you feel confident to decide what fits your life, now and into the future. Every human being deserves respect, including you.

Your first session with Barbara

Our first appointment is all about you. We'll review your medical history, look at lab work and biometrics, and establish short-term goals that feel doable. Think of it as a low-pressure conversation where you don’t need to have everything figured out before we meet. We’ll discuss your daily routines, preferences, and any barriers you’ve encountered, and we’ll shape a realistic plan you can actually live with. You’ll leave with a clear set of first steps and a sense of partnership, not a list of commands.
