Background
Hi, I’m Cintia! I’m a Registered Dietitian passionate about helping clients feel more confident and connected to food and their bodies without restriction, shame, or confusion. My goal is for you to leave every session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with realistic tools that align with your values, culture, and lifestyle.
My approach to nutrition is personalized, inclusive, and rooted in evidence-based care. I specialize in intuitive eating, blood sugar management (including diabetes), women’s health, and culturally responsive nutrition care. I also support clients navigating chronic conditions and complex or emotional relationships with food.
I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Nutrition Science from the University of Illinois at Chicago and completed my dietetic internship with a focus on medical nutrition therapy and community health. I’m also a 200-hour certified yoga teacher, and my work is informed by a whole-person, body and mind approach that honors awareness, balance, and self-trust.
Outside of work, you’ll find me cooking traditional Latin meals with a nourishing twist, exploring farmers markets, or spending time with my family and pets. I also enjoy mentoring future dietitians and staying engaged in community-based nutrition initiatives.
I became a dietitian to challenge the one-size-fits-all approach to health and to empower women and communities of color to take up space in wellness. Building my private practice has been a dream rooted in connection, culture, and care. I’m so glad you’re here and I can’t wait to work together.

Approach
I take a personalized, culturally inclusive approach to nutrition, meeting clients where they are, without judgment. My style is warm, supportive, and grounded in science. I prioritize helping clients understand the why behind nutrition recommendations, so they feel informed and confident in their food choices. I focus on small, sustainable changes that empower clients to build a healthier relationship with food one bite at a time.
