About Patricia

Food and strength have been a throughline in my life, whether I'm in the gym lifting, training for bodybuilding, kayaking on the water, or sharing big meals with friends and family. With a BS in Nutrition and Dietetics and ten years as an RDN working in hospitals and private practice, I blend clinical experience with real-world coaching. I'm practical and educational, focused on sustainable habits we'll build together. Outside of sessions I'm often testing a new recipe, tweaking a workout plan, or enjoying time with family and friends.

Approach to care

Evidence and empathy guide how I practice. I rely on current research and proven protocols while keeping our conversations warm and nonjudgmental. We'll translate science into clear, actionable steps and measurable short-term goals, and I'll teach you the why behind each recommendation so you can make informed choices. I work from a Health At Every Size, weight-neutral perspective and consider the whole person, including sleep, stress, movement, and relationships, to help create lasting, realistic change.

Your first session with Patricia

We'll begin by reviewing your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you bring so we can see the full picture together. I aim for a direct, educational conversation that still feels low-pressure and supportive, so you don't need to have everything figured out before we meet. By the end of the visit we'll set a couple of short-term, achievable goals and identify clear next steps that fit your life. Expect explanations of what your numbers mean and practical strategies you can try right away.
