About Ivette
Hello and welcome! My goal as a registered dietitian is to help you develop what I call "nutritional intelligence"—the ability to make informed food choices that truly improve your life.With over two decades of personal experience living with Type 1 diabetes, I've seen firsthand how powerful nutrition can be. My work in pediatrics, neurology, and community health has taught me to provide culturally competent and evidence-based education to every person I meet. I believe that nutrition is far from "black and white." Instead, it's a personalized journey, and my mission is to help you tailor it to fit your unique life and goals.
Approach to care
My approach to care is rooted in gentle guidance and zero judgement. I believe that your health journey should be uniquely yours. Instead of focusing on rigid rules, we’ll work together to cultivate realistic, simple, and sustainable habits. My goal is to empower you and your family to make well-informed decisions that build a permanent foundation for your well-being.
Your first session with Ivette
Our first session is all about you. It's a chance for us to get to know each other, and for me to understand your unique story, from your medical history to your daily challenges and preferences. We’ll discuss your goals and what you hope to gain from our work together, keeping in mind that your journey—and your goals—can change along the way.

Education
My journey to becoming a registered dietitian was driven by a passion for helping people. After earning my master's degree in nutrition from Lehman College, I completed a dietetic internship with Lagniappe Wellness, specializing in diabetes and obesity prevention. My commitment led me to actively seek out additional experience in oncology, weight management, and chronic disease management, giving me a strong foundation to support my clients today.
Hobbies
traveling, attending different dance classes, watching horror/thriller films, and cooking for my loved ones
