About Ariana
Food has always been my connector, a way to learn about culture, comfort, and science. As an RD with five years of experience and a BS in Dietetics and Food Administration from CSU Fresno, I bring clinical, private practice, and community health perspectives to each visit. I enjoy hiking, cooking, traveling, and exercising. Those pursuits remind me that nutrition should fit your life, so we create realistic, sustainable plans together.
Approach to care
Nutrition counseling should be both evidence-based and compassionate. I blend current research with clear, practical steps so we'll set measurable, manageable actions rather than chasing quick fixes. I practice through a Health At Every Size lens, focusing on behaviors, function, and wellbeing instead of weight, and I prioritize the whole person. Together we'll learn skills, build sustainable habits, and make choices that fit your life without judgment.
Your first session with Ariana
Expect a warm, low-pressure conversation where I will listen without judgment and we review your medical history, along with any lab work or biometrics you bring. We'll talk through routines, barriers, and what has felt realistic for you in the past, then establish short-term goals that feel doable. You do not need to have it all figured out; we'll create clear next steps so you leave with clarity and confidence.
