Background
Hi, I’m Danyel—a Registered Dietitian and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I specialize in working with prenatal and postnatal clients, and I’m passionate about supporting breastfeeding families with compassionate, evidence-based care. I also have a strong background in mental health and substance use disorder, and I love helping people in recovery use nutrition as a tool for healing.
I use motivational interviewing in my work, focusing on small, realistic habit changes that help my clients reach their bigger goals. I believe food is more than just fuel—it’s a powerful tool that can support both physical and mental well-being.
Outside of work, I’m always on the move. I love dancing, trying new workout classes, and running 5Ks—especially at Disney! I got into nutrition because I enjoy trying new foods and love how nourishing your body can positively impact every area of life.
