About Lisandra
Hi, I’m Lisandra Cruz, a bilingual (English & Spanish) Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over 13 years of nutrition counseling experience. My passion for nutrition is deeply shaped by my personal journey as a cancer patient, which taught me the importance of truly listening to our bodies and caring for them with compassion—especially through nutrition. This experience transformed the way I support others and reinforced my belief that health is not about perfection, restriction, or quick fixes, but about understanding what your body needs and honoring it.
Approach to care
My coaching style is rooted in behavior change, mindful eating, and a non-diet approach. I specialize in weight management, Type 2 diabetes, and overall well-being, helping clients build sustainable habits that fit their real lives. I believe all foods can fit into a healthy lifestyle and that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Nutrition should feel flexible, culturally inclusive, and supportive—not stressful or overwhelming. I work with both Spanish- and English-speaking clients and tailor care to your culture, preferences, and lifestyle. My mission is to help you heal your relationship with food, trust your body again, and move toward becoming the best version of yourself—without guilt or judgment.
Your first session with Lisandra
Our first session is a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space. We’ll talk about your goals, health history, food preferences, challenges, and your relationship with food. I take time to truly listen and meet you where you are. You can expect clear guidance, practical strategies, and realistic next steps you can start right away. Whether we meet in English or Spanish, my goal is for you to leave feeling heard, empowered, and confident about your path forward.
