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. Being a dietitian allows me to combine my love of nutrition and my love of people. I'm also passionate about social justice issues that intersect with my field of work. What I love most about my job is building relationships with my clients and becoming a part of their health journey's. Thank you for considering me.

Approach to care

My approach to care is patient-centered & weight-inclusive. I take into consideration all social determinants of health 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 for you that is realistic and sustainable. We will then set small goals for you to work on and discuss in follow up sessions.
