About Maria
I am a Registered Dietitian and a NYS Certified Dietitian Nutritionist with 30 + years experience in the field of nutrition. I have worked in both acute care and long term care settings as well as in private practice. My goal is to help clients take control of their health in an effort to prevent complications of acute and chronic diseases.
Approach to care
Cura personalis is a tenet by which I live. I apply an integrative approach in nutrition counseling combining personalized medical nutrition therapy with lifestyle factors to address the root causes of health imbalances. As an educated counselor and active listener, I try to create a safe space so clients do not feel judged and are more likely to be honest about their dietary intake, movement and lifestyle which in turn will help them modify their behavior for the better.
Your first session with Maria
In your first session, I will complete a nutrition assessment including a diet history, anthropometric data, medical history and lifestyle habits. I will work with you to develop a comprehensive and personalized plan to address your goals and implement lasting changes.
