About Luna

Hi, I’m Luna. I earned my BS from the University of Connecticut and am a Registered Dietitian. I love meeting people where they are and helping food feel like a source of energy, comfort, and connection. In my work, I combine evidence-based guidance with warmth and listening so we can tailor plans to your life. When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me biking, doing yoga, painting, traveling, or learning new languages and cuisines. I’m excited to learn your story and support you as we build healthier habits that fit you and your family.

Approach to care

Together, we’ll approach your health with curiosity and honesty. I base my guidance on current evidence and proven protocols, while staying mindful of your unique life, culture, and goals. I’m empathetic and warm, creating a non-judgmental space where you can explore your relationship with food. I aim for practical, direct steps you can put into action this week, not quick fixes. I practice a holistic approach that focuses on sustainable behavior changes that honor your body and your enjoyment of life. I also educate you about how signals from your body, lab results, and meals connect so you can make informed decisions.

Your first session with Luna

Our first appointment is all about you. Think of it as a warm, collaborative conversation rather than an exam. We'll review your medical history, lab work if available, and your short-term goals, and we’ll dive into your relationship with food. You don’t need to have everything figured out yet; together we’ll outline 1-2 doable steps to start. We’ll talk about what has helped in the past and what hasn’t, in a non-judgmental space. You’ll leave with a clear sense of direction and feel supported as we tailor a plan to your life.
