About Leslie

Tucson has been my base for the last 12 years while I’ve worked across hospitals, community health, WIC, food services management, and private practice as a Registered Dietitian. I studied Nutrition Sciences and Spanish Literature at the University of Arizona, which shaped how I blend science with curious, culturally-minded food ideas. I love exploring new flavors while traveling and dancing at music festivals, and I bring that playful curiosity into how we approach food and change.

Approach to care

I ground recommendations in current research and then translate them into clear, practical steps we'll try together. I am direct and action-oriented, yet warm and nonjudgmental, so you can expect straightforward guidance delivered with empathy. We focus on sustainable habits that fit your life, using a weight-inclusive, health-at-every-size lens that prioritizes behavior and wellbeing over quick fixes. I also aim to teach the why behind each choice, so you leave empowered to make lasting changes.

Your first session with Leslie

Expect a relaxed, judgment-free conversation where we map out what matters to you and what feels realistic. I want my recommendations to fit into your lifestyle, so we'll explore your routines, wins, and barriers rather than forcing one-size-fits-all rules. You don't need to have it all figured out. Together we'll choose a couple of manageable steps and leave with clear, practical actions to try before our next visit.
