About Marcela

Hi, I’m Marcela! I’m a registered dietitian who’s passionate about helping people feel healthier, more confident, and supported in their nutrition journey. I know nutrition can feel confusing so my goal is to make it simple, realistic, and personal so you feel empowered, not restricted. I work with people of all ages and backgrounds, and I’ve supported clients in areas such as diabetes and prediabetes, gut health (IBS and celiac disease), autoimmune conditions, heart health, food allergies, pediatric nutrition, and healthy aging. I also help individuals managing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and changes in weight, whether that means weight loss, weight gain, or finding balance with weight stabilization. Whether you’re facing a new diagnosis, trying to prevent chronic disease, or simply want to feel your best day-to-day, I’ll meet you where you are and create a plan that truly fits your life.

Approach to care

My approach combines practical meal planning, support for your relationship with food, a weight-inclusive perspective, evidence-based care, and guidance with balancing nutrients. I believe small, consistent changes add up to big results. You can expect clear, realistic guidance without judgment or quick fixes. My goal is to help you feel confident about your food choices and show you that nutrition can work with your life, not against it.

Your first session with Marcela

In our first session, we will take time to talk about your health history, your goals, and what feels challenging right now. I will listen to your story and help you sort through the confusion so we can focus on what matters most to you. You will leave with realistic steps to get started right away, along with a supportive plan we will build on together.
