About Mercy

Hello, hello! My name is Mercy, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. I am a passionate dietitian and proud mother of two from Dallas, Texas. I know firsthand how important it is to build sustainable habits that fit real life and busy schedules. I look forward to meeting you and helping you on your health and nutrition journey! I have over 10 years of experience in community and public health nutrition—specializing in maternal, infant, and child nutrition—and 5+ years of clinical dietetic experience. I bring a deep understanding of how to integrate diverse cultural foods, personal preferences, and lifestyle factors to create a healthy, fulfilling way of eating for every life stage. I’ve worked in both public health and clinical settings, helping countless individuals make meaningful changes through behavioral modification, self-awareness, intuitive eating, and breaking patterns that oppose self-care.

Approach to care

It’s all about meeting you exactly where you are. Whether you’re just starting or fine-tuning your nutrition, we’ll build on your knowledge and create a personalized, sustainable plan to help you reach your health goals. Together, we’ll focus on nutrition and mindset, making small but powerful changes that seamlessly fit into your daily life. As we progress, I’ll be right here—your supportive partner, coach, and trusted nutrition expert—to guide, encourage, and celebrate your wins. Ready to take the next step? Let’s do this together!

Your first session with Mercy

Our first session is all about understanding your unique journey. We’ll talk about your health history, current eating habits, overall diet, and any past experiences with nutrition counseling. I’ll also ask about your goals, whether it’s improving your relationship with food, managing any health conditions you may have, or simply creating a balanced, sustainable way of eating that fits your lifestyle. This session is a no-pressure, judgment-free space where we’ll lay the foundation for a personalized plan that works for you. I’m here to support and guide you every step of the way. Looking forward to getting started!
