About Kelli

’m Kelli, a registered dietitian with a background in dance, movement, and whole-body wellness. I studied World Arts and Cultures at UCLA and later worked as a personal trainer and massage therapist in NYC, which shaped my understanding of how the body functions, heals, and thrives. I earned my master’s in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology and have since worked with diverse populations, including prenatal and postpartum clients, athletes, families, and older adults. I love helping people feel nourished, supported, and connected to their bodies through realistic, meaningful nutrition.

Approach to care

My approach blends evidence-based nutrition with a warm, intuitive, and realistic style. I focus on nourishing whole foods, sustainable habits, and tuning into the body’s cues—not strict diets or rigid rules. I integrate principles of mindful eating, nutrient-dense choices, and gradual behavior change to help build routines that last. I’m collaborative and compassionate, taking time to understand your goals, lifestyle, and challenges so we can create a plan that feels achievable, supportive, and aligned with your values.

Your first session with Kelli

Your first session is centered on you—your goals, routines, health history, and what you’re hoping to improve. I’ll listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and help you identify the areas that matter most. Together, we’ll create a clear, personalized plan with small, realistic steps you can start right away. You won’t get rigid meal plans or judgment—just supportive guidance, clarity, and a sense of direction. My goal is for you to leave feeling encouraged, understood, and confident about your next steps.
