About Maritza

Hey there! I’m Maritza, a Registered Dietitian with a Bachelor's in Nutrition from the University of North Florida. My journey in nutrition has led me to work in a variety of roles, from weight loss consultations and diabetes management to renal health, long-term care, and even intuitive eating. Through all of it, my focus has remained on helping you build a healthy relationship with food that’s sustainable, enjoyable, and realistic. When I’m not helping clients, I enjoy running, playing pickleball, gaming, traveling, trying new sweet treats, and chasing sunrises.

Approach to care

Are you tired of the "all or nothing" mindset that leaves you feeling like you’re either dieting perfectly or failing completely? It’s time to embrace a more forgiving approach - "all or something". Together, we’ll focus on small, sustainable changes that fit into your life, rather than forcing your life to fit into rigid rules. I believe that true change happens when you feel empowered, not restricted. We’ll honor your preferences, your culture, and the foods you enjoy, while still helping you move toward your health goals. My role is to guide and support you, but ultimately, you’re in the driver’s seat. This is your journey, and I’m here to support you one bite at a time.

Your first session with Maritza

Our first session will be all about you. I want to understand where you’re coming from, what your goals are, and, most importantly, why they matter to you. Whether it’s managing a health condition, losing weight, or simply feeling better about food, we’ll take the time to explore your needs and build a plan that fits your life, so you can start making lasting, positive changes without the pressure of perfection. No stress, no judgment.
