Patient reviews
“Dina is knowledgeable, patient and kind. She asks good questions and listens well to better understand my struggles and goals. I love that she made me a personalized meal plan, and she has been responsive to the information I record in my online journal. We live in completely different states, with a 2-hour time difference, but she is accomodating for our meetings. If we lived near each other I would enjoy her as a friend as well!“

“I’m beyond grateful for the guidance I’ve received from Dina. During our first appointment, she took the time to thoroughly collect all the necessary information about my health and lifestyle. By the end of our meeting, she provided me with a comprehensive plan that included my daily calorie intake, a helpful to-do list for hydration, and a detailed weekly meal plan. I truly feel supported and motivated as I take my first steps toward a healthier lifestyle. I’m so thankful for“

About Dina
I am a Registered Dietitian with a passion for helping my clients to achieve their health goals through personalized nutrition care. Since becoming a Registered Dietitian in 2024, I’ve focused on outpatient nutrition counseling, educating my clients on nutrition and healthy choices tailored to their needs. Whether you're managing a chronic condition or aiming for a healthier lifestyle, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Before becoming a Registered Dietitian, I worked as a biochemist/ chemist for 10 years. My passion for understanding the science of the body led me to nutrition, and I’ve loved every moment of my journey in this field.
Approach to care
My approach to care is centered on personalized, and evidence-based strategy. I believe in meeting each client where they are and understanding their goals, challenges, and lifestyle. I take the time to educate my clients, empowering them with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions about their nutrition. I focus on sustainable changes rather than quick fixes, ensuring that the recommendations I provide are realistic and tailored to fit your unique nutritional needs.
