Mariana Van Antwerp

Hi, I’m Mariana! I’m a Registered Dietitian from Southern California. My journey to becoming a dietitian began with my own experience battling IBS. After years of searching for the right solution, I discovered the power of holistic nutrition. This experience sparked a deep passion for helping others heal by creating nourishing meals that not only support wellness but also bring joy to those around them.

I earned my B.S. degree in Nutrition from Northern Arizona University and completed my dietetic internship through Utah State University. My professional experience includes community outpatient counseling (both in person and telehealth), acute care in hospitals, long-term care in skilled nursing facilities, and foodservice child nutrition in school districts.

Over the years, I have especially enjoyed working one-on-one with clients, helping them make positive changes that fit their unique lifestyles. I’ve learned that many people struggle to understand that nutrition isn’t black and white, and I know how overwhelming it can feel to know where to start. That’s where I come in—whether it’s weight management, diabetes management, or general well-being through practical tips in the kitchen, I’ve helped many progress on their journey to healing themselves from within.

I’m beyond excited to share my passion for nutrition with clients every day. I’m here to guide you on your wellness journey by meeting you where you are and creating a realistic, enjoyable path to becoming the best version of yourself!
