About Sara

Sara Soyeju, RDN, LDN, MAPP is a Registered Dietitian with a Master’s in Positive Psychology, the scientific study of human strengths and well-being. I am passionate about empowering individuals to achieve their health and wellness goals through personalized, evidence-based approaches. With 18 years of experience in nutrition counseling and weight management, I have supported the health of individuals and groups through one-on-one counseling and group education. I taught graduate level nutrition counseling at NYU and directed community nutrition education programs in NYC.

Approach to care

I offer a science-based approach that goes beyond food facts - helping you connect what you eat, your lifestyle habits, how you feel to help improve your overall quality of life. I understands the mental load of making healthy choices daily and can help you to improve self-efficacy and feel confident in developing healthy habits to support your overall wellbeing. Together, we will set realistic, achievable goals tailored to your unique needs. I will provide continuous support, guidance, and motivation to help you stay on track and make lasting changes.

Your first session with Sara

The first session is designed to be comfortable, supportive, and focused on you. I will ask questions to explore your current medical history, nutrition preferences, goals, lifestyle, and relationship with food. Together, we’ll identify what matters most and set priorities. This information will help me craft a personalized and comprehensive nutrition plan to guide you during follow-up appointments. You’ll leave with clear next steps and confidence to move forward.
