About Demsina

Cultural food and cooking curiosity led me from a BS in Clinical Nutrition at UC Davis, through a dietetic internship at Yale and an MPH from Boston University, to eight years working as a Registered Dietitian across hospitals, research, and private practice. I practice as an RDN and I'm completing my PhD at UC Davis this summer. I have held, clinical dietitian roles at Brigham and Women's and Spaulding Rehabilitation in Boston, MA, plus private practice experience throughout the pandemic over telehealth, so I am very comfortable with blending science with real life. When I'm not working you'll find me cooking, reading, riding my Peloton, or crafting wedding details with my Cricut (it's going to be quite the summer of wedding DIY!)

Approach to care

I ground recommendations in current research while keeping the conversation warm and practical. I'll listen without judgment, we are in this together! Consider me your teammate in optimizing your health as we translate evidence into clear, manageable actions you can sustain over time. I value a weight-neutral perspective that centers wellbeing beyond numbers, while also understanding that people have individual health goals! We'll address the whole person, including lifestyle and emotional factors, and I'll teach you the 'why' behind each step so you can make informed choices with confidence to sustain!

Your first session with Demsina

Expect a relaxed, judgment-free conversation where we'll review your medical history, routines, and the reasons you're seeking support. You don't need to have everything figured out beforehand and I definitely don't expect you too! We'll identify a couple of realistic short-term goals and map practical next steps you can try. I'll offer clear, evidence-based suggestions and we'll adapt plans together as we go through this journey, based on what feels doable in your life, so you leave with focus and a plan, not pressure.
