About Me
Maria Buitrago is a registered dietitian who works with individuals healing their relationship with food, body, and movement. She has a special interest in supporting athletes in recovery and those navigating complex medical conditions alongside eating disorders. Maria takes time to understand the full picture—whether it’s performance pressure, persistent symptoms, or feeling misunderstood by providers—and tailors care to fit real lives, not rigid plans.
She holds a Master's in Nutrition Science from Tufts University and a Bachelor's from Auburn University, and she is currently pursuing her Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) credential. Her approach blends intuitive eating, body image work, and individualized meal planning through a weight-inclusive and trauma-informed lens.
Known for her curiosity, warmth, and directness, Maria believes healing looks different for everyone and is especially attuned to the details others might miss. She is LGBTQ+ affirming and welcomes Spanish-speaking clients.
