About Yendi

I’m a registered dietitian with 12 years of experience and a strong clinical background, from supporting patients with chronic conditions to providing care in intensive care units. My passion for nutrition comes from my love of food and cooking, combined with a lifelong desire to work in healthcare. I’ve always been inspired by the power of food to nourish, heal, and bring people together. I take a compassionate, personalized approach to care that considers each person’s medical needs, lifestyle, and values. I don’t believe in restrictive diets or one-size-fits-all solutions—instead, I focus on realistic, enjoyable strategies that create lasting change. Whether I’m working with patients or teaching future healthcare professionals, my goal is to make nutrition feel approachable and empowering. I’m here to support you with knowledge, empathy, and practical tools to help you build habits that support both your health and your happiness.

Approach to care

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all nutrition plans or restrictive diets. Instead, I focus on creating a balanced, individualized approach that prioritizes nourishment, enjoyment, and long-term success. I help my clients build a positive relationship with food while developing practical strategies that fit into their unique lifestyles. My approach is rooted in education, empowerment, and realistic goal-setting to ensure you feel confident in making nutrition choices that align with your health and wellness goals.

Your first session with Yendi

Our first session will involve a deep dive into your lifestyle, health history, and personal goals. I’ll ask questions to get a full picture of your eating habits, medical background, and any challenges you’ve faced with nutrition. By the end of our session, we’ll have a clear, individualized plan to help you move forward. Together, we’ll set achievable short and long-term goals so you can feel supported and motivated throughout your journey. I’m excited to be part of your health journey and look forward to helping you make meaningful, lasting changes!
