NUTRITION SCIENCE FOR REAL LIFE
Evidence-informed nutrition counseling, education, and collaboration for individuals, practitioners, and organizations.
My Approach
As a clinically trained Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS), I take an evidence informed, whole person approach to nutrition. I consider the connections between nutrition, the gut microbiome, hormones, metabolism, lifestyle, and overall health, while recognizing that individual circumstances, resources, and experiences shape how we put nutrition science into practice.
Nutrition is not one size fits all. In my counseling work, I consider each person's health history, symptoms, goals, and lifestyle to develop strategies that are personalized, practical, and sustainable. My practice is weight inclusive and informed by Health at Every Size® (HAES®) principles, emphasizing nourishment, health behaviors, and overall well being rather than weight alone.
My approach also extends to practitioner education, science communication, and organizational collaboration. Whether working with individuals, healthcare professionals, or organizations, my goal is to make complex nutrition research clear, relevant, and applicable to real life.
Areas of focus include gut health, women's health, metabolic health, and the connections between nutrition, digestion, hormones, mood, sleep, and energy.

Hi, I’m Maya
I'm a Certified Nutrition Specialist® with a focus on gut health, women's health, metabolic health, and nutrition education.
My approach is grounded in science and the understanding that health is personal. There is rarely one answer, one perfect diet, or one strategy that works for everyone.
I help people make sense of nutrition and health information and turn it into practical strategies that fit their lives. My approach is evidence informed, weight inclusive, and collaborative, without rigid rules or one size fits all recommendations.
Beyond individual nutrition counseling, I provide practitioner education, science communication, and collaborative programming for organizations and communities. My goal is to connect nutrition science with practical applications that support individuals, healthcare professionals, and community health.
