About Stephanie
Hi! I’m a Registered Dietitian based in sunny Southern California, where I live with my husband and our two fur babies. I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Nutrition and Dietetics from Loma Linda University. My career began at Loma Linda University Hospital, where I had the opportunity to work in a variety of clinical settings. Over time, I discovered my passion for weight management and bariatric surgery, which led me to become certified in obesity and weight management. I especially enjoyed working in the Bariatric Department, where I witnessed firsthand how evidence-based nutrition and compassionate support can truly transform lives. I’m passionate about helping individuals feel empowered in their health journey and am excited to support my clients at Nourish.
Approach to care
As your registered dietitian, I take an evidence-based approach to nutrition education, ensuring the guidance I provide is rooted in the latest science and best practices. I use motivational interviewing to support meaningful, sustainable behavior change, and I prioritize your goals and preferences every step of the way. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle and empowers you to achieve lasting health outcomes.
