About Tamiris

Hi, I’m Tamiris! I’m originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where food is deeply connected to culture, family, and joy - this perspective shapes how I practice nutrition today. I have been a Dietitian for 9+ years and I’m passionate about helping people build a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food and their bodies, without guilt, restriction, or pressure. I specialize in weight management, women’s health (PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, perimenopause, and menopause), disease management and prevention, and sports nutrition. As a former professional swimmer, I understand firsthand how nutrition supports performance, recovery, and overall well-being. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me in the pool, at the beach, or scuba and free diving, movement and nature are a big part of my life.

Approach to care

I believe nutrition should feel supportive, not stressful. My approach is very personalized, compassionate, and realistic. There’s no “perfect” way to eat, and I’m not here to judge or hand you a rigid plan that doesn’t fit your life. We focus on building sustainable habits and a healthier relationship with food, while honoring your culture, lifestyle, and goals. I meet you where you are and help you move forward in a way that feels doable and empowering.

Your first session with Tamiris

Your first session with me is a relaxed, judgment-free conversation. I want to understand you, your story, your challenges, your goals, and what hasn’t worked in the past. We’ll talk through your health history, goals, lifestyle, and relationship with food, then create clear, realistic next steps together. You’ll leave with practical tools, direction, and the confidence that you’re not doing this alone. Most importantly, I want you to feel heard, supported, and empowered. You don’t need to have everything figured out before booking, SHOWING UP IS THE FIRST STEP, and I’ll meet you there.
