About Mariana

Hi, I’m Mariana, a Registered Dietitian based in Texas. I earned a BS in Dietetics and an MS in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Texas at Austin. I currently practice in a public health setting, but have experience working in clinical hospital settings. I believe in making science approachable and building educational, patient-centered care that fits real life. My goal is to support individuals who don’t know where to start, feel overwhelmed by information, and want clear, practical guidance they can actually use. I am happy to work with English- or Spanish-speaking patients. When I’m not meeting with clients, you’ll often find me doing heated yoga or browsing through shops.

Approach to care

My care philosophy centers on evidence-based, educational, and empathetic support. I ground our plan in current research and clear, actionable steps, and I stay curious about what works for you. I practice with a weight-neutral, HAES-informed mindset, focusing on behaviors and habits rather than numbers. Together we’ll build sustainable changes that honor your priorities and relationship with food. You’ll have a compassionate guide who helps you understand nutrition without judgment, aiming for long-term, meaningful health.

Your first session with Mariana

Our first appointment is a warm, judgment-free conversation about you and your goals. We'll review your medical history and current concerns and take a deeper look at your relationship with food. You don’t need to have it all figured out yet; I’ll listen and ask questions to understand what matters most. By the end, we’ll have one or two realistic goals and a plan that fits your life. Together we’ll start building a path that feels doable and worth sticking with.
