About Raquel
Being a dietitian since 2013 has given me the opportunity to work with many people, of all backgrounds and goals. I have a variety of experience within nutrition from clinical care in hospitals to wellness in community settings to one on one lifestyle modifications. Food is one thing all humans have in common. It is my pleasure to work within a unifying source. I wholeheartedly believe in balance and enjoying life.
Approach to care
As a registered dietitian with a passion for helping others live healthfully, I am a motivated to improve lifestyles. I use a realistic approach, utilizing real, easily accessible food with simple preparation techniques to make every day changes to prevent or treat chronic disease. I believe in the power of small actions building to big changes.
Your first session with Raquel
In our first session we get to know one another. I gather information on eating habits, typical shopping and preparing procedures, likes and dislikes, medical and medication history, emotional beliefs, etc. I prefer to gather as much information as possible to best develop a plan and goals for moving forward. I will also share my general approach to nutrition and wellness.
