About Mindy
As a Registered Dietitian with international experience, I view food as one of the most intimate connections we share with ourselves and the world. My work blends the science of nutrition with a deep appreciation for cultural identity and personal meaning in food. Having lived, worked, and traveled across borders and cuisines, I’ve gained a global perspective that strengthens my ability to connect with people from all backgrounds. As a Spanish speaker, I’m able to communicate across cultures with empathy and inclusivity, fostering trust and understanding.
Approach to care
Evidence and compassion guide the work I do with each person. I rely on current research to create clear, actionable steps, while listening closely to your priorities and daily realities. Together we'll set realistic, measurable actions that build sustainable habits, not quick fixes. I aim to empower you to understand the relationship between food and body, guiding them toward sustainable, confident choices that align with your goals. I’m driven by the belief that nutrition is not just about nourishment—it’s about connection, enjoyment, and peace.
Your first session with Mindy
Expect a relaxed, conversational visit where we'll review your medical history and take a deep look at your relationship with food. This is a judgment-free space, and I won't expect you to have everything figured out or to bring a perfect food log. Together we'll explore patterns and barriers, and identify one or two short-term goals that feel doable. You'll leave with clear next steps and a plan for how we'll track progress in the visits ahead.
