About Diana

Hi, I'm Diana, a Registered Dietitian based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, with two years of experience helping people build healthier relationships with food. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics and my MBA from Florida International University, and I practice as an RDN and LDN. I’ve worked in clinical and hospital settings as well as long-term care, which gives me a practical view of nutrition across different stages of life. Outside of work, I love cooking, hot yoga, reading, walking my dog, and painting. I’m grateful to bring science, warmth, and real-world strategies to every session.

Approach to care

My care philosophy centers on evidence-based practice and warmth. I believe in empowering you with knowledge while meeting you where you are, without judgment. Together we'll translate science into practical steps that fit your life and values. I approach care through a Health At Every Size lens, focusing on sustainable habits rather than quick fixes. My style is holistic, realistic, and educational, considering sleep, stress, movement, and your relationship with food as a whole. We'll build a plan that supports lasting change and your everyday wellbeing.

Your first session with Diana

Our first appointment is about you. We'll start with a relaxed conversation to understand your medical history, lab work or biometrics, current routines, and goals. You don't need to have it all figured out yet; we'll explore your relationship with food and identify what is and isn't working. Together we'll create a personalized meal plan and discuss short-term goals you feel confident pursuing. We'll also cover the basics you want to know and set the stage for ongoing education and support, with no pressure and plenty of encouragement.
