Background
When someone needs to change their eating habits to address a health issue, it can feel overwhelming, but breaking it down into manageable pieces and focusing on balanced, whole foods can make it more approachable. I create a realistic plan that fits your lifestyle, ensuring it is achievable and sets you up for positive results. I believe in a holistic approach to wellness, emphasizing balanced meals throughout the day with snacks as needed and incorporating achievable changes that will help you reach your goals. My ultimate goal is to ensure your success.
I enjoy food—I love eating it, smelling it, preparing it, and admiring the chef’s food art in restaurants, with their vibrant colors, textures, and flavors. Learning about different cultural cuisines and their unique spices fascinates me. I also enjoy being outdoors, whether riding bikes, rollerblading, snorkeling, scuba diving or gardening in our sunny Florida.
I am a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, a Registered Dietitian, and a Licensed Dietitian with over 30 years of experience. I hold a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from Florida International University. My expertise includes all types of diabetes, weight management, hypothyroidism, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and other medical conditions that can be improved through nutritional changes. Let’s work together to help you reach your nutritional goals!
