About Sara

Nutrition blends my curiosity about movement, learning, and how people actually live. I earned my RDN through the Didactic Program in Dietetics at Simmons University and hold an MEd from Framingham State University. Over 13 years I’ve practiced in community health, School age nutrition, and have experience in a hospital settings, helping people translate evidence into everyday choices. I teach group fitness classes and I love to travel, which keeps me curious about practical, culturally informed ways to eat. I’m enthusiastic about sharing evidence-based guidance on nutrition, physical fitness, sleep, and mindfulness, and about setting reasonable goals that support long-term wellbeing.

Approach to care

I work from a weight-neutral, evidence-based stance that centers sustainable habits over quick fixes. We’ll focus on behaviors that fit your life, not a one-size-fits-all plan, using current research to guide clear, practical steps. I’m warm and direct, so you’ll get straightforward education together with compassionate support. Health looks different for everyone, so we’ll consider sleep, stress, movement, and mindset as part of the plan. My goal is to empower you with knowledge and small, actionable changes we can build on together.

Your first session with Sara

Think of the first visit as a collaborative check-in. We’ll review your medical history and current medications, talk through lifestyle habits like sleep and activity, and discuss what you feel ready to change. I’ll ask about past strategies that worked or didn’t, and we’ll set a couple of short-term, achievable goals together. There’s no pressure to have the answers ahead of time, just bring your questions and honest experience, and we’ll map out clear next steps you can actually follow.
