Background
Hi, I'm Starla. I'm a registered dietitian with 28 years of experience. I have an MS and BS in Nutrition. Over my career I’ve worked in clinical hospital settings and in community health, helping people apply evidence to everyday eating. My credentials as an RD with the LDN postnominal reflect my commitment to quality care. When I’m not meeting with clients, I love reading, cooking, and staying active in Texas. I believe in thoughtful, lasting change.
What to expect in your first session
Our first appointment is all about you. We’ll review your medical history, look at any lab work or biomarkers, and start to establish short term goals. There is no pressure to have everything figured out in advance; this is a conversation that sets a path we’ll walk together. You can expect a warm, respectful, and action oriented session where we define one or two achievable goals and outline what support you’ll need to reach them. I’m glad you’re here.

Approach
To me, care is collaborative, grounded in science, and focused on you. I combine evidence based strategies with an empathetic, nonjudgmental approach that honors where you are today. I aim for clarity and action, offering practical steps while keeping a long view for sustainable change. I practice with a HAES, weight neutral mindset and a holistic lens that recognizes food, body, mind, and environment as part of your health story. Education is at the heart of our work together.
