About Martha

Hi, I’m Martha, a Registered Dietitian based in the Bronx. I have nine years of experience in clinical and outpatient settings and earned my MS from Lehman College. I practice with an evidence-based, educational approach, and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are. I love listening to music, and I believe small, sustainable changes fit best into real life. I’m also culturally sensitive, tailoring care to your background, values, and everyday routines.

Approach to care

My care philosophy blends science and warmth. I’ll translate current research into practical strategies that fit your life, and I’ll do it with empathy and curiosity. We’ll work together in a collaborative, nonjudgmental way, focusing on real habits you can sustain. I practice a weight-neutral, HAES-informed approach and emphasize the whole person—physical, emotional, and social well-being. Education is key, so you’ll routinely leave sessions with clear knowledge to guide your choices.

Your first session with Martha

Our first appointment is a warm, collaborative conversation. We’ll review your medical history, look at labs and biometrics, and start to shape short-term goals. Together we’ll create a practical meal plan you can actually follow. You don’t need to have everything figured out yet; this is a judgment-free space where you can share what matters most. I’ll support you with clear steps and check-ins to help you move forward at a pace that feels right.
