Background

Hi, I’m Maribel Rivera, RDN, LD, BCBC—a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over 20 years of experience helping people improve their health and relationship with food through compassionate, evidence-based care.  I specialize in a wide range of areas including diabetes education, weight management, bariatric nutrition, chronic condition support, and more.

I believe in treating the whole person, not just a diagnosis, and I’m committed to meeting each client where they are with personalized guidance that fits their lifestyle, culture, and goals.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in nutrition and completed my dietetic internship in Puerto Rico, and that foundation has shaped my culturally sensitive and inclusive approach to care. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working across clinical, community, and outpatient settings, and I bring that diverse experience into every session.

Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, working toward a healthier relationship with food, or just trying to feel your best day-to-day, I’m here to support you with empathy, expertise, and practical strategies that actually work.
