About Margaret
Hi, I'm Margaret! I as born and raised in Miami, FL in a large Cuban family, so food was basically my first love. It inspired my lifelong journey to explore how nutrition plays a central role in overall well being. I recently earned my doctoral degree in Dietetics and Nutrition where my research focused on understanding how modifiable behaviors such as diet, exercise, sleep and stress relate to depressive symptoms. In my free time, I love experimenting with new recipes and exploring new restaurants and cuisines. I am passionate about sharing my love of food and wellness with others, and can't wait to help you on your own health journey!
Approach to care
With almost a decade of experience in health and fitness, I provide a holistic approach to wellness that combines clinical, emotional, and practical techniques to help clients make lasting changes that fit into their unique lifestyles. I'll be here to guide you every step of the way.
Your first session with Margaret
Your first session with me at Nourish is all about getting to know you! We'll start by chatting about your lifestyle, goals, and any challenges you might be facing. I'll ask you several questions to get a full picture of your health habits and what you're hoping to achieve. I will try to make this process as comfortable as possible and we will take things at your pace. Together, we'll create a plan that's tailored to your unique needs.
