Debora Malakan, RD

I’m a compassionate Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who meets each client where they are and looks at the whole person—not just a diagnosis, a number on the scale, or a list of foods. I work with people who have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, PCOS, hormonal imbalances, high cholesterol, disordered eating, and difficulty recognizing or trusting hunger and fullness cues. I’m passionate about helping people develop a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food and their bodies while building nutrition habits that can support them for life.

​

My approach incorporates Intuitive Eating, Health at Every Size, and evidence-based nutrition education rather than restrictive diets or rigid food rules. I help clients reconnect with their bodies, better understand their individual nutritional needs, and develop a way of eating that feels nourishing, flexible, and sustainable.

​

I believe that lasting change doesn’t happen overnight. There are no quick fixes when it comes to health, nutrition, or building a healthier relationship with food. Meaningful change takes time, consistency, and patience. Rather than focusing on short-term results, I work with clients to make realistic changes at their own pace and develop habits that can become a lasting part of their lives.

​

I take a holistic approach and consider the many factors that can influence nutrition and health outcomes, including medical history, lab values, lifestyle, emotional well-being, and personal circumstances. My goal is to help clients better understand their nutritional needs and how different aspects of their health may influence them, in a way that feels empowering rather than overwhelming.

​

I hold a Master’s degree in Nutrition and have experience working with individuals across different stages of their nutrition journey. I’ve had the privilege of working in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and private practice, supporting clients with diverse needs and backgrounds.

​

You can expect a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we identify meaningful and realistic goals, explore what is and isn’t working, and make adjustments along the way. I believe the client is the expert on their own life, and my role is to provide the knowledge, guidance, and support to help them find what truly works for them.

​

Ultimately, I want my clients to feel more confident, informed, and connected to their bodies—not afraid of food. Whether you’re navigating a medical condition, struggling with your relationship with food, or simply looking to feel better and take care of yourself, I’m here to help you.
