About Sandra
Hi, I’m Sandra. I bring 12 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian with a Master's degree in Food and Nutrition from Florida State University. My work began in clinical settings, primarily focusing on cardiovascular health and expanding to sports nutrition in tactical environments, where I translate science into practical, athlete-focused guidance. I’m credentialed as a Certified Specialist in Sports Nutrition, and I love helping clients build lasting habits that fuel performance and well-being. Outside of work, I’m often in the kitchen cooking, catching up on a book, coloring with my kids, or driving them to games. I value warm, collaborative care and meeting you where you are.
Approach to care
My care philosophy centers on collaboration, empathy, and science. I believe in using current research to guide our plan while staying curious about your lived experience. We’ll work together to translate nutrition science into clear, doable steps that fit your life, not the other way around. I practice with a weight-neutral, holistic lens that honors your whole person and supports sustainable change. Educational by nature, I aim to empower you with knowledge so you can make confident decisions long after our sessions.
Your first session with Sandra
Our first appointment is a welcoming conversation designed to put you at ease. We’ll review your medical history, lab work, and biometrics, and we’ll discuss your relationship with food and your short-term goals. There’s no need to have everything figured out beforehand; this is a collaborative step where we get to know each other both personally and professionally. We’ll set a couple of realistic goals to start, and from there I’ll tailor a plan that fits your lifestyle, preferences, and rhythm. I look forward to meeting you.
