About Sandra
Food and curiosity have guided my path into nutrition. I earned a BS in Dietetics from Eastern Kentucky University and have spent 15 years working in community health as a registered and licensed dietitian, bringing public health experience into one-on-one care. I live in South Florida and outside of work I lose myself in mysteries and movies, enjoy exploring new places, love to cook, and dance whenever I can. When we work together, you'll have a no-judgment, you-centered partnership where we address problem areas, celebrate non-scale victories, and build habits that stick.
Approach to care
I use current evidence to shape practical, doable strategies that fit your life. Working through a Health At Every Size lens means we focus on behaviors, wellbeing, and sustainable habits rather than weight as the primary goal. I'll listen with empathy and respect, then help you set clear, action-oriented steps we'll track together. Education is part of the process, so I explain the why behind recommendations and consider mental, emotional, and physical factors to create long-term change, not quick fixes.
Your first session with Sandra
Our first visit is a warm, low-pressure conversation where we'll review your medical history and take a deep dive into your relationship with food. We'll discuss routines, wins, frustrations, and the barriers you face. Together we'll establish a couple of short-term, realistic goals and outline practical next steps you can try right away. You don't need to have it all figured out; this is a collaborative, judgment-free space where we'll leave with clarity, support, and small steps toward lasting change.
