I’ve been dreaming up this project for almost two years, and today it’s finally here: my Substack, Salud. 🍷
Salud means “to your health,” and that’s exactly what this space is — a toast to the many layers of well-being. It isn’t just about food, though you’ll find plenty of recipes and approachable nutrition insights. It’s also about the bigger picture: how stress, trauma, culture, and the systems we live in shape our health, and how rituals, connection, and simple pleasures help us feel whole.
I’ve never thought of myself as a writer. English was always my hardest subject, and I didn’t find out I was dyslexic until I was 30. So I’m not showing up here as a journalist or a polished essayist. I’m showing up as myself — a dietitian, a seeker, and someone who believes health should feel grounding, compassionate, and human.
If you’re looking for a place to exhale, learn something new, and feel more connected to your body, your food, and the world around you, I hope you’ll join me.

Hi. Some big news I’ve been waiting to share: I’m officially full-time with my very own nutrition private practice 🥹💫
This has been a long time coming. I started my practice as a side hustle after leaving my hospital job during COVID, while juggling a role in tech. I went back and forth on running my own practice for years. Partly because I didn’t fully believe in myself, partly because I was grappling with my place in a health and wellness industry I’ve grown increasingly frustrated with. And partly because… health insurance 🤢
But after seeing clients full-time for the past 3 months, I feel more certain than ever that this is where I’m meant to be. Supporting people in their healing has been the most meaningful work I’ve done.
If you or someone you know needs support with a health condition or just wants to feel better in their body, I’d love to help.
I accept most major insurance plans across 11 states and offer a limited number of sliding scale spots each month because affordable, accessible care will always be a priority for me. Not sure if I take your insurance or can support your condition? Book a free consult.
