About Maria

Hi, I’m Maria Arellano, a Registered Dietitian with a Bachelor's degree in Dietetics from the University of Florida and a strong background in clinical nutrition. My interest in nutrition began with my own struggles around food. That personal journey led me to heal my own relationship with food and inspired me to help others do the same. I’m passionate about guiding individuals toward a healthier, more balanced approach to eating. Whether you're looking to improve your eating habits, manage a chronic condition, or feel more confident in your wellness journey, my goal is to empower you with the knowledge and support you need to make sustainable choices that honor your health and your body.

Approach to care

I take a patient-centered and collaborative approach to care, where your unique needs, preferences, and goals are at the forefront of every decision. Together, we’ll develop a sustainable, personalized nutrition plan that aligns with your lifestyle.

Your first session with Maria

You can expect a welcoming, non-judgmental environment where you’ll feel supported, heard, and empowered to take the first steps toward positive change. In your first session, we’ll take the time to get to know each other. I’ll ask questions to understand your lifestyle, personal goals, and any expectations you may have.
