About Me

Christina’s journey into nutrition began from her own struggles with food, experiencing restrictive eating and the lure of quick-fix diet trends. Determined to transform her relationship with food, she earned her Master's in Nutrition and Dietetics from Nova Southeastern University, where she discovered that nutrition is a complex, individualized science.

As a proud Cuban, Christina values the importance of culture in nutrition and emphasizes incorporating cultural foods into her practice. Now a dedicated dietitian, she embraces a holistic approach that celebrates each client's unique journey and personal preferences. She has taught cooking classes in the community to children and currently offers classes to veterans. With two years of experience working with prediabetic and diabetic clients, Christina continues to expand her expertise by completing functional nutrition courses. Through her compassionate guidance, she empowers individuals to heal their relationships with food and develop sustainable habits, inspiring them to thrive on their wellness journeys while enjoying a positive connection with food.
