About Cynthia

Hi, I’m Cynthia. I’m a Registered Dietitian who loves helping people build a healthier relationship with food in a way that fits real life. My training started with a BS in Food Administration: Nutrition and Dietetics, and over the past 10 years I’ve worked in clinical and hospital settings as well as community health. I bring hands-on experience and a calm, practical approach to care, often weaving in my LD and IBCLC credentials alongside my RD work. When I’m not helping patients, I’m with my family, savoring good coffee, or enjoying long drives with an audiobook. I’m grateful for the chance to walk with you on your health journey.

Approach to care

I believe care should be evidence-based, compassionate, and sustainable. My approach is collaborative and patient centered: we’ll translate the science behind nutrition into clear, doable steps and educate you along the way, building a plan that respects your life and preferences. I practice with warmth and curiosity, meeting you where you are and avoiding judgment. I support a Health At Every Size mindset, focusing on behaviors that promote well being rather than chasing quick fixes. Looking at the whole person—nutrition, sleep, stress, routines—helps us create lasting change you can maintain.

Your first session with Cynthia

Our first appointment is all about you. Think of it as a conversation, not an evaluation. We’ll start by understanding your medical history, current routines, relationship with food, and what you hope to achieve. We’ll review any recent labs or biometrics and establish short-term goals together. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we meet. I’ll share practical, evidence-based steps and together we’ll design a personalized meal plan that fits your life, tastes, and energy needs.
