About Nava
Hi, I'm Nava. I'm a Registered Dietitian based in Los Angeles with 3 years of experience helping people build healthier relationships with food and centering long-term wellness. I earned my BS in Foods and Nutrition from San Diego State University and completed my Dietetic Internship through Bastyr University, which informs my holistic, educational approach. I've worked in private practice and in outpatient settings with a wide variety of conditions including but not limited to gut issues, hormonal imbalances, and chronic disease. I'm here to listen, learn, and guide you at your pace.
Approach to care
My care is evidence-based and collaborative. I ground our plan in current research and practical tools, while staying empathetic and nonjudgmental. I offer clear, direct, actionable steps and steady accountability, so you know what to do next and why it matters. I practice with a Health At Every Size lens and a weight-neutral stance, focusing on sustainable behavior changes rather than quick fixes. I treat you as a whole person and empower you with knowledge to nourish your life long after our sessions.
Your first session with Nava
Our first appointment is all about you. We'll cover your medical history, lab work and biometrics, as well as discussing your relationship with food and your daily routines. We'll set one to two realistic short-term goals and talk about your long-term hopes and how I can support you through the process. This is a judgment-free, collaborative space where you don't need to have everything figured out. Together, we will plan practical steps you can begin this week and build sustainable momentum.
