About Shante
Hi, I'm Shante. I have 7 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian and a PhD in Dietetics & Nutrition from Florida International University. My work has taken me through research and academia, corporate wellness, and community health, which gives me a broad view of how nutrition fits into daily life. I’m an LDN and RDN, and I value evidence-based practice as the foundation of our work together. I know food stories are personal, and I’m here to listen with warmth and respect. I’m excited to support you in building healthier habits that last.
Approach to care
I practice an approach that blends evidence-based science with empathy and clear, actionable steps. We’ll work together to translate research into realistic routines that fit your life. I embrace a holistic, Health At Every Size mindset, focusing on sustainable behaviors and well being rather than a number on the scale. Your values, culture, and comfort matter, and I’ll meet you where you are with no judgment. Education supports lasting change, so you’ll leave sessions with knowledge you can apply daily.
Your first session with Shante
Our first appointment is a warm, collaborative conversation. We'll explore your relationship with food, review your medical history, and talk through your goals in a nonjudgmental space. You don't need to have everything figured out before we meet; we'll take it step by step and set one to two realistic short term goals to get started. I’ll listen for your priorities, values, and any barriers you face, and together we'll shape a plan that feels doable and sustainable. Remember, this is your time and your pace.
