About Yanaris

Hi, I’m Yanaris Shaw — a Registered Dietitian dedicated to helping people discover what eating well really means for them. My approach is all about progress, not perfection. I believe in meeting you where you are, building healthy habits that actually fit your life, and making food something you enjoy, not stress about. Whether you’re looking to manage a health condition, boost your energy, or feel more confident in your food choices, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.

Approach to care

I believe in a whole-person approach to nutrition — considering not just what we eat, but how food fits into our daily lives, culture, and overall wellness. My goal is to empower clients with knowledge and confidence to make lasting, meaningful changes.

Your first session with Yanaris

During the first nutrition counseling session, we’ll take time to get to know you — your health history, lifestyle, eating habits, and personal goals. This session is all about understanding the full picture, not judgment or quick fixes. You can expect: A comfortable, conversational approach — we’ll discuss what’s working for you and where you’d like to make changes. A thorough nutrition assessment — reviewing your medical background, labs (if available), current eating patterns, and daily routines. Goal setting — we’ll create realistic, personalized goals that fit your lifestyle and priorities. Education and guidance — you’ll leave with a clear understanding of next steps and practical tips you can start using right away. The goal of this first visit is to build a foundation for your nutrition journey — one that feels supportive, sustainable, and tailored to your unique needs.
