About Dina
Forty years working in hospitals, community health programs, private practice, and consulting for Becton Dickinson Pharmaceuticals have taught me how nutrition fits into real life. I earned my Bachelor of Science at the University of Delaware and, as a CDCES and RDN, I bring science-informed care with a practical lens. I live in Wayne, New Jersey, and when I’m not helping people improve their health you’ll find me cooking or baking for friends, entertaining, traveling, or reading. I enjoy translating complex information into plans that feel doable and familiar.
Approach to care
Evidence and kindness guide how I work with people, grounding recommendations in current research while meeting you where you are. I practice in a weight-neutral, behavior-focused way that honors the whole person, not just numbers on a report. We’ll set clear, achievable steps and build skills that stick, because sustainable habits matter more than quick fixes. I aim to educate and empower you, offering practical, direct strategies delivered in a warm, nonjudgmental space so we can make lasting changes together.
Your first session with Dina
Expect a relaxed, collaborative conversation where we review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you have. We’ll talk about what’s working, what’s been frustrating, and what realistic short-term goals feel right for you. I’ll listen first, then offer clear, actionable steps and together we’ll sketch a meal plan tailored to your life. You don’t need to have everything figured out beforehand. This visit is low pressure, judgment-free, and focused on creating a practical path forward.
