Hi! ​My name is Yanira​ and I'm a Registered Dietitian dedicated to providing holistic lifestyle care. I decided to become a dietitian, foremost, because I am passionate about helping people pursue the healthiest version of themselves.​ My goal is to educate and empower ​y​ou to lead a​ healthy lifestyle that allows ​you to reach your health goals for a vibrant, healthy, and happy life. I combine evidence-based science with practical advice to help you achieve optimal health starting from where you are and moving at a pace that is comfortable, realistic, and attainable for you.​ We will work together along your health journey to incorporate simple, fun, and joyful practices into your everyday life to create a sustainable and thriving lifestyle.
​For over a decade I have had the opportunity to work in various areas of dietetics including academia, community, clinical and sports nutrition. I have had the privilege to serve as President of the Southern Colorado chapter for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and have achieved the Navy Surgeon General’s Blue H Gold Star Award​ for health promotion. I am a Certified Sleep and Recovery Coach​, and trained as a yoga practitioner in India.
I am a military spouse and like to spend time with ​my family, cooking, gardening​ (although I don't have a green thumb), hiking​, paddle boarding, traveling, and ​digesting current nutrition​ information.
I look forward to meeting and supporting you on your health journey!
