Hillaris Pozo

About Hillaris

I am a registered dietitian with experience in individual nutrition counseling, group counseling, as well as culinary nutrition. I provide general nutrition, weight-neutral counseling, women's health, prenatal nutrition, culinary nutrition, diabetes, heart health, and intuitive eating. I am currently working toward the Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor credential. My aim is to blend evidence-based research, clinical experience, food security activism, and motivational interviewing in the outpatient setting.

Approach to care

My goal is to create a collaborative environment focused on building tools to manage barriers and set goals to optimize your health. I provide a client-centered, weight-neutral, non-diet approach with evidence-based nutrition education and counseling to manage health conditions and promote sustainable changes. As a team, we can build confidence in your culinary skills, brainstorm cost-effective and flavorful recipes, and provide tools to support your health.

Your first session with Hillaris

During our first session, we will review your medical history and lab data, if available. We will discuss your motivation, barriers to change, goals, food preferences, allergies, and eating habits. This session is key to building your unique nutrition plan and setting goals for sustainable changes. Follow-up sessions will focus on support, motivation, celebrating your wins, and working on additional goals. I am excited to work with you!
