About Lais

Hi, I'm Lais, a Registered Dietitian based north of Boston. I'm originally from Brazil and a graduate from Framingham State University. My work has spanned clinical and hospital settings as well as community health, where I learned how small changes can make a big difference. I have experience working with patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, chronic kidney disease, as well as patients that are looking to increase their overall health. When I’m not working, you’ll find me reading, exercising, or playing volleyball.

Approach to care

My care philosophy centers on being educational, evidence-based, and deeply human. I rely on current research to guide our plan while meeting you where you are with empathy and nonjudgmental support. We’ll walk side by side to build sustainable habits that fit your life and values. I embrace Health At Every Size principles and a holistic view that considers sleep, stress, activity, and food as interconnected. My aim is to empower you with knowledge and practical tools for lasting change.

Your first session with Lais

Our first appointment is a warm, welcoming conversation about you. We’ll review your medical history, your current concerns, your current food habits, and we’ll establish short-term goals that feel realistic. This isn’t a test or judgment, and you don’t need to have everything figured out before we meet. Think of it as a collaborative planning session where we explore what matters most, identify practical steps, and set a clear path to begin. I’m here to support you every step of the way.
