Background
Hello & thanks for clicking on my profile! I’m Tyffanie and I’ve been in the nutrition field for over a decade. I enjoy working one-on-one with clients to help them achieve their health goals!
I work with women in their reproductive years & beyond. I am good at helping clients improve their relationship with their body. I also have significant experience working with older adults and adults with mood disorders (depression, anxiety, etc.). I am fluent in Spanish así que puedo ofrecer sesiones en las que hablamos español.
My approach to sessions is to be your accountability partner and support system. I can offer insights and advice, but YOU are the expert of your own body! We partner as a team to help you achieve your health goals. Sessions are discussion based, with time for you to reflect and gather insights. I address you as a whole person -- asking about sleep, exercise, body image & more.
Before entering the nutrition field, I worked in business and accounting. While I liked that work, I felt like it lacked something. I was missing the ability to directly help other people. Becoming a dietitian has given me the tools to work one-on-one with individuals. I can support them as they work towards their health goals. It’s amazing to see clients make progress and feel like their best selves!
I live with my Chilean husband, our toddler and our mini-dachshund in NYC. Besides spending time with them, I love to dance, eat dark chocolate and travel. Some places on my travel bucket list are the Galapagos Islands, Greece, Portugal & Spain!
My credentials are:
-Master of Science in Nutrition & Public Health from Columbia University.
-Credentialed Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) in the U.S.
-Certified Dietitian Nutritionist (CDN) in New York State
-Board Certified Specialist in Gerontological Nutrition in the U.S.

Approach
"My ideal client is someone who is open to making changes and exploring their health beliefs. They know they are the expert of their own body and I am there to support them. My goal is for my clients to feel empowered in taking charge of their health & habits. Sessions are conversation-based and can be in English, Spanish or Spanglish. I encourage clients to set small, achievable goals that build over time. I find this is the best way to make sustainable progress."
