About Carmen
Hi, I’m Carmen! I’m a Registered Dietitian with four years of experience specializing in chronic kidney disease, blood sugar management, and heart health. I’m passionate about helping people understand the science of nutrition and find a healthy, sustainable balance with food. With so much conflicting information out there, my goal is to simplify the noise and create personalized nutrition plans that work for you. I’m here to support and guide you every step of the way on your journey towards your nutrition goals.
Approach to care
I believe in meeting you where you’re at and creating a nutrition plan that truly fits you. There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to food and health, so we’ll work together to build something that feels realistic and doable for your life. We’ll set small, actionable goals to work on between sessions to help you make steady progress toward the bigger picture. I’ll be here to support you through it all—because real change takes time, and it’s okay if the journey isn’t perfect.
Your first session with Carmen
Our first session is all about getting to know each other. You can expect plenty of questions as I learn more about your medical and nutrition history, your lifestyle, and what you’re hoping to gain from working together. We’ll also explore your “why”—the motivation that brought you to this point in your health journey—because understanding that will be key in helping you move toward your goals.
