About María Elena

Hello everyone! A little bit of me: I was born and raised in San Juan, PR, where I studied Nutrition and Dietetics and fell in love with this wonderful career. I have been a dietitian for 13 years and have been able to help many people achieve their goals and lead a healthier life. I have worked in diverse scenarios such as public health, private and clinical practice. What I love most about being a dietitian, is the ability to guide people to the best version of themselves. Fueling our bodies with the right foods is key for prevention, longevity, and overall health. I'm here to guide you through this wonderful journey of being your best self, and make it the beginning of a long-lasting, healthy lifestyle. ☺️ Also, ✅ Spanish speakers welcomed! Hablamos español! 😊

Approach to care

Deciding to make a change can be sometimes difficult and overwhelming. Being able to engage with my clients to know what they are looking for, and most important, WHY (what drives you), helps me develop a personalized approach. With continuous nutrition counseling, guidance and ongoing support, the process turns into a fulfilling and empowering journey to your best self yet! We'll work together to design a plan that adjusts to your needs, improves your relationship with food, and provide you with the knowledge and tools to make it work a lifetime.

Your first session with María Elena

Our first session is all about getting to know each other. We'll go through WHAT are your goals and expectations, and WHY you decided to make a change. We'll address your health history, dietary habits, and lifestyle to design a plan of action that works for YOU. And don't you worry! Within the session, we'll make sure to clarify any doubts, questions and concerns you might have, and leave our follow up session scheduled, to make sure you feel ready and empowered to begin this new journey.
