About Us

Greetings! I am a Registered Dietitian with an extensive 27-years in my field of practice. I was born in Bogota, Colombia and moved to the United States in 1998. As a teenager, I faced the challenges of being overweight. It was not just about the physical aspects; it was an emotional and mental journey too. I attempted and failed at many diets, which sparked me to embark on the career of a dietitian. This career path provided me with the knowledge to a path of achieving a healthy weight and lifestyle.

Professional Journey:

I earned my Bachelor's Degree from the Pontificia Javieriana University in Bogota, Colombia in Dietetics and Nutrition. I continued my education and earned my Master's Degree in Exercise and Sports Sciences from Florida International University. I have honed my skills over nearly three decades, offering personalized guidance to clients seeking sustainable weight loss and improved well-being. During my career, I worked at Cleveland Clinic in Weston, Fl for over 17 years in the Department of Bariatric Metabolic Institute and other private institutions. 

Specializations:

Bariatric Nutrition: I am recognized for my proficiency in bariatric nutrition, guiding individuals through pre- and post-surgery phases with a focus on optimal healing and long-term success.

Weight Management Strategies: My expertise extends to crafting tailored weight management strategies that go beyond quick fixes, emphasizing lifestyle changes for lasting results.

My approach revolves around building a strong and collaborative relationship with each client. I understand that every individual is unique, and I am dedicated to developing customized nutrition plans that align with personal goals, preferences, and medical considerations.

Education and Community Engagement:

In addition to my client work, I am committed to education and community engagement. Whether conducting seminars, workshops, or contributing to health publications. I aim to share evidence-based information to inspire positive transformations on a broader scale. I have made contributions to different media outlets which include NBC news, CNN en Español, La Mega TV, The New Herald, The Sun Sentinel, Latina Magazine and local health clips broadcasted in Wal-Mart Supermarkets. In addition, I have been a national and international speaker at multiple symposiums.

What Sets Me Apart:

Comprehensive Experience: With 27 years in practice, I bring a wealth of experience to the table, navigating the evolving landscape of nutrition and wellness.

Results-Driven Approach: My goal is to deliver not just short-term results but to empower clients with the knowledge and tools to sustain a healthy lifestyle over the long term.
