About Daniela

Hi, I'm Daniela. I bring eight years of experience as a Registered Dietitian to a warm, science-based approach to nutrition. I earned my BS in Dietetics from the University of Georgia and my MS in Exercise Physiology from Florida State University, and I’ve worked in sports nutrition and private practice. When I’m not helping clients, you’ll find me surfing, dancing, Olympic weightlifting, or cooking. I see food as a meaningful part of who we are, and I want my clients to enjoy eating while making steady progress.

Approach to care

With my MS, RDN and CSSD, I base care on evidence-based science while staying empathetic and warm. I collaborate with you to build a sustainable, long-term plan rather than chasing quick fixes. I practice with a weight-neutral, holistic lens that honors Health At Every Size principles and focuses on behavior, not perfection. My approach is educational and practical: I translate science into doable steps, equipping you with tools and knowledge so you can confidently nourish your body. Together, we'll design a plan that fits your life and values.

Your first session with Daniela

Our first session is all about you. We'll review your medical history, we’ll take a deep dive into your relationship with food, and we’ll establish short-term goals together. No need to have it all figured out before we meet; I want you to feel supported and heard from the start. We’ll talk about what matters most to you, what has worked before, and what you hope to change. By the end, you’ll have a clear path and 1–2 actionable steps to begin with.
