ABOUT us
MITZI DE MAA, RD, LDN
¡Hola! I'm Mitzi, a registered dietitian from Mexico. I studied Dietetics and Nutrition at Florida International University and completed my dietetic internship at Larkin Community Hospital in Miami, FL.
Growing up in Mexico, I cherished family moments around the table with our traditional foods. However, I later struggled with food and body image issues. Thankfully, I healed this relationship and want to help you do the same.
Let's rediscover joy and peace through healing our connection with food and our bodies. Join me on this journey! Find me on social media as @mitzidemaa.

Saludos, I’m Zariel, a first-generation Dominican American dietitian with a passion for celebrating our cultural foods and their impact on well-being. I hold degrees from Ramapo College of New Jersey and Montclair State University, as well as a Dietetic Internship from the CUNY School of Public Health.
I'm on a mission to help you reconnect with the foods you love and feel empowered by them. My approach is weight-neutral, focusing on rebuilding trust within your body and ditching dieting for good. I'm particularly dedicated to supporting the Spanglish-speaking community.
Join me on the journey of self-discovery and self-love. Find me on social media @loveyourchichos.
Hi, I'm Bri. With a biracial Italian-American background, food has always been more than nourishment—it's culture, emotion, and connection. From childhood moments spent cooking alongside family members to formal culinary training at Walnut Hill College, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Pastry Arts, my journey has been flavored with a passion for both the art and the science of food. Expanding on this foundation, I pursued further education, earning a graduate degree and completing my dietetic internship at Rowan University. Through my studies, I continuously challenged the status quo in the health and wellness space, advocating for the recognition of diverse cuisines and cultures often overlooked in traditional dietetics.
Now, as a registered dietitian and chef, I blend my culinary expertise with evidence-based nutrition to offer a personalized approach that celebrates food in all its glory. My philosophy revolves around food neutrality, rejecting labels of "good" or "bad", and empowering clients to cultivate positive relationships with food that honor their unique goals, experiences, and preferences. I am thrilled at the possibility of joining you on your journey to better health! For a taste of the foodie fun, follow me on Instagram @bri_theRD!

Hey! I’m Kelsy, a New Yorker with cultural roots from the Dominican Republic. My greatest joy is empowering BIPOC individuals to lead healthy fruitful lives without compromising their identity. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics, Food, and Nutrition from CUNY-Lehman College and completed my Dietetic Internship and Master of Science in Nutrition from Saint Elizabeth University.
As a Registered Dietitian, my goal is to help you develop and nurture a healthy relationship with food and your body. This journey may include confronting foods you feel guilty about eating, unlearning ingrained societial beliefs on health, and honoring your culture and your ancestors for days to come!
You are capable of making good choices for your wellbeing without ever feeling like you’ve fallen off the wagon, and I am so excited to help you reach that point. Find me on social media @kelsyknowswellness.
Hi, I'm Isa, a proud first-gen Mexican-American from Los Angeles, where food served as the heartbeat of our community and a celebration of culture. My academic journey began at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where I delved into researching the healing practices of curanderas in Mexico, sparking my passion for holistic wellness. After earning my Bachelor of Arts, I pursued a Master of Science in Nutritional Science at California State University of Los Angeles, followed by a dietetic internship with Sodexo.
My belief in a holistic approach to nutrition stems from my experiences, advocating for a way of life that respects the body, honors cultural diversity, and acknowledges the profound connection between food and well-being. As an anti-diet dietitian, I reject the restrictive norms of diet culture, championing a weight-neutral and culturally inclusive approach to wellness. My mission is to guide others in reclaiming a healthy relationship with food and their bodies, embracing the richness of life beyond societal expectations.
In the words of my dad's post-meal wisdom, "¡Panza llena, corazón contento!" - A full belly brings a content heart. Let's work together to nourish not just our bodies but also our spirits, finding joy in every bite and celebrating the diverse flavors that make life delicious.

Maria Castro, RD
Hola! I'm Maria, a registered dietitian and board-certified Health Coach with a passion for honoring cultural identities through food. Growing up in a bicultural household, I understand the importance of traditional foods and the connections they foster within communities. Raised by my dad and brother, cooking and sharing meals became our way of bonding and celebrating our Latine heritage.
My journey to becoming a health coach was shaped by my own struggles with diet culture and body image. After grappling with health issues and the pressures of societal norms, I discovered the transformative power of nourishing my body and soul through food. Now, I'm dedicated to helping others redefine their relationship with food and their bodies, emphasizing empowerment and sustainable behavior change. As Lauryn Hill wisely said, "How you gonna win when you ain't right within?" I believe that small, consistent steps lead to lasting change, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.
