About Diana
Hello! I'm Diana, a Registered Dietitian currently based in Los Angeles, California. I'm a Midwestern gal to my core though and grew up in Detroit, Michigan as well as lived in Chicago, Illinois for the past few years! As a dietitian, I have extensive experience in acute care, bariatric surgery & weight management (especially with GLP-1s!), and cardiothoracic transplant surgery. I practice with the vision that food is medicine and healing. I aim to provide the necessary support for your goals to reflect your unique needs, preferences & aspirations. We will navigate the complexities of nutrition while fostering a sense of balance & joy in nourishing your body.
Approach to care
A whole-body, holistic approach is essential to your nutritional success. Assessing all areas of your life to support the health of your mind, body, and soul. I believe in fostering a healthy relationship with food. Nutrition should be a source of joy and nourishment for everyone versus stress and worry. I intend for our sessions to be a safe space for open dialogue and collaboration. I focus on developing smaller, baby habits with each session that will ultimately lead to sustainable, lifelong change.
Your first session with Diana
Our first appointment is a conversation, not a test. We'll spend time getting to know you, your relationship with food, daily routines, and your goals. You don't need to have it all figured out yet; I’ll listen, ask questions, and clarify what matters most to you. Together we'll identify 1 or 2 short-term goals to start, and I’ll outline clear, doable steps that fit your pace and preferences. You’ll leave feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about the path ahead.
