About Maya

Hello! I'm so glad you're here :) My name is Maya and I'm a registered dietitian based out of Virginia. I have 6+ years of experience in the nutrition field, specializing in nutrition interventions for common health conditions and general wellness (specialties listed below). Being a dietitian allows me to do work that includes both my love for nutrition and my love for people. What I love most about my job is building relationships with my clients and becoming a part of their health journey. Thank you for considering me!

Approach to care

My approach to care is patient-centered & weight-inclusive. I take into consideration individual experience and lifestyle to help guide you in a plan to meet your wellness goals in a realistic and sustainable way. My goal is to provide a well rounded patient care experience, one of which helps you to build a positive relationship with food and self.

Your first session with Maya

The first session is all about getting to know you and how we can work with one another towards meeting your health goals. I will ask questions about your current and past medical history (health conditions, lab work, etc.), food & nutrition patterns/norms, lifestyle, barriers, etc. This information will help me to develop a plan with you that is individualized and sustainable. We will then set realistic goals for you to work towards. We will discuss progress and make changes as necessary in follow up sessions.
