Background
I’m Paula Caetano, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), I provide compassionate, trauma-informed nutrition care through telehealth services across California, Illinois, New York, and Oregon. With over a decade of experience, I’ve guided hundreds of individuals toward sustainable health, helping them heal their relationship with food—without restrictive diets or shame-based approaches.
I believe that true wellness goes beyond the plate. My approach is rooted in Trauma-Informed Nutrition, recognizing how trauma can affect our biology, emotions, and behaviors around food. This holistic perspective allows for deeper, lasting transformation—physically and emotionally.
My areas of expertise include:
- Weight Management & Emotional Eating
- Bariatric Surgery Nutrition Support
- Diabetes Care & Blood Sugar Management
- Metabolic Syndrome & Cardiometabolic Health
I proudly offer services in three languages: English , Español , Português

Approach
"Food is often intertwined with emotions, experiences, and deep-seated beliefs, all of which influence our overall well-being. That’s why I’ve dedicated myself to integrating Trauma-Informed Nutrition into my practice. I firmly believe that healing requires a holistic approach—one that honors the complex relationship between mind, body, and food. "
