About Maria

Hello! I’m , Maria, a registered dietitian passionate about helping people build a healthier relationship with food. I love supporting clients in finding balance and confidence with their nutrition, while also making space for the joys of eating. When I’m not working, you can usually find me trying out new sourdough recipes, hiking or kayaking with my husband and 2 dogs, or working on creative hobbies like scrapbooking.

Approach to care

My approach is patient-centered. I want to meet you where you are in your healthy journey and support you in meeting your goals in a way that feels sustainable and realistic. I believe that there are foods that nourish the body and foods that nourish the soul; both can fit into a healthy lifestyle.

Your first session with Maria

In our first session together I would like to take the time to get to know you and what motivates to take charge of your health. We’ll explore the process of behavior change and discuss strategies for setting and achieving your goals. By the end of your first session, and if you feel ready, we will set 1-2 goals that you may begin to focus on. In future sessions we’ll discuss what went well, and what felt challenging.
