About Mariel
Hi there, I’m Mariel, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist based in Tampa, FL. I'm experienced working with clients across all ages and life stages, specializing in everything from navigating food allergies in newborns to managing new diagnoses and chronic conditions in teens and adults. I also have a strong background in weight management and macro/meal planning, helping my clients build sustainable, healthy eating habits that align with their lifestyle and goals.
Approach to care
I have a client-centered approach, meeting my clients where they are in their health journey with compassion and understanding. I believe that small, realistic goals are the foundation of lasting change. By developing personalized strategies that align with each client’s unique needs and lifestyle, I am here to support my clients to create healthy habits and achieve their health goals.
Your first session with Mariel
Your first session will be an opportunity for me to get to know you better. We will discuss your medical history, habits, lifestyle, and goals, and the information you share will serve as the foundation for your personalized nutrition plan. By the end of our time together, we'll establish your first goal and outline an actionable plan to get started. This session marks the beginning of our partnership in working towards a healthier version of you!
