About Dezi

Hi, I'm Dezi, a Registered Dietitian with 10 years of experience helping people in private practice, sports nutrition, journalism, community health, corporate wellness, and nutrition communications. I earned my BS in Nutrition Sciences and Dietetics, and I rely on evidence alongside real-world habits to guide our work. Outside the clinic, I love basketball, hiking, climbing, running, writing, and podcasting. I'm committed to a warm, collaborative approach that helps you feel understood while we build a healthier relationship with food and your body.

Approach to care

I believe nutrition works best when we approach it as a partnership. My care is evidence-based and science-focused, yet empathetic and warm, so you feel seen and supported. I'm direct and action-oriented, turning research into simple steps you can actually implement. I practice a meet-you-where-you-are, take-you-where-you-need-to-go mindset and a holistic view of health, focusing on sustainable habits rather than quick fixes. We'll educate together, so you feel confident making choices that honor your life and goals.

Your first session with Dezi

Our first session is all about you. We'll have a warm, judgment-free conversation where we talk about your goals, health history, and what’s been challenging. We'll also explore your energy, appetite, stress, sleep, and daily routines to understand how they shape your eating. Together we'll identify a few clear priorities to start with and outline practical next steps that fit your life between sessions. If labs or biometrics are available, we'll review them and begin a personalized meal plan while you share your story and goals.
