About Devin

I’ve dedicated my career to helping others improve their health through nutrition. Since earning my degree in Nutrition from UC Davis in 1991, I’ve spent over three decades in the field and currently work as a renal dietitian in a dialysis unit, supporting patients with kidney disease often related to diabetes or high blood pressure. This work has taught me the value of compassion, prevention, and quality of life. I’ve expanded my expertise over the years with a diploma in culinary arts and a certificate in personal training, blending science, food, and fitness into a holistic approach to wellness. Outside of work, I stay active with weight training, Pilates, and walking, and share my home with three rescue cats. I treasure time with my family, especially my parents and nieces and nephews, as well as quiet days at home.

Approach to care

I’m a clinician and nutrition professional dedicated to helping individuals use food as a powerful tool for healing and long-term wellness. My work centers on evidence-based medical nutrition therapy, with specialized expertise in kidney disease, cognitive health, and menopause. I believe in a compassionate, whole-person approach — blending clinical precision with practical, sustainable strategies that empower patients to take control of their health. Whether guiding someone through complex dietary changes or supporting preventive lifestyle goals, I strive to make nutrition both approachable and transformative.

Your first session with Devin

Your first session is all about getting to know you — your health history, goals, lifestyle, and what wellness means to you personally. Together, we’ll explore your current eating patterns, medical background, lab results, and any symptoms or concerns you’d like to address. I take a collaborative, judgment-free approach. My goal is to understand your unique situation and begin building a personalized nutrition plan that’s realistic, evidence-based, and tailored to your needs. We will have a thoughtful conversation, not a lecture with practical guidance you can start using right away, I will focus on your goals, preferences, and lifestyle so that we can create clear next steps for follow-up and support. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer understanding of where you are, where you want to be, and how nutrition can help you get there — one achievable step at a time.
