About Maria
Hi everyone! My name is Maria and I am a registered dietitian. My love of food and nutrition started at an early age. I grew up in a family that was centered around the kitchen with home cooked meals and family dinners. As I grew older, I was lucky enough to turn this love into a career. Nothing has been more rewarding than learning how our diets can impact our growth, health, and wellbeing and then being able to share my knowledge. I have extensive experience in weight management (healthy loss or gain), diabetes, heart health, and a personal relationship with treating and managing gut health such as irritable bowel syndrome and Celiac disease.
Approach to care
Not one person is the same. With that in mind, my goal is to provide individualized patient-centered care to create a plan that is sustainable for you and your household. To do this, we will discuss current routine, past attempts, future goals, and so much more. By identifying barriers, we can create solutions together to overcome them. My aim is to make practical and creative solutions that fit into your everyday routine and not only help your health but help your relationship with food and nutrition.
Your first session with Maria
Our first session is all about building trust and getting to know each other. We will take the time to discuss your medical history, exercise routine, food preferences, dietary restrictions, diet history, eating habits, environment, stressors, and goals. From there, we will develop a personalized plan that reflects your goals and fits into your lifestyle. Nothing is set in stone. If you want to adjust or take our future visits in a different direction, I can help you! Our visits will be a collaborative journey. I look forward to getting to know you!
