Hi ! I’m Érica, Dietitian & founder of Nutrition-Focused Health.
I’m a dietitian on a mission to make healthy eating accessible and dismantle misinformation online.
I understand that making dietary changes can be challenging. That’s why I’m here not just as your dietitian, but as your advocate and supporter. Achieving health goals isn’t always a straight path—it comes with its share of obstacles and detours, and that’s perfectly okay. We’re all human, and change is tough. But with the right guidance and support, it becomes more manageable.
My passion lies in helping individuals make small changes with big impacts on their health. I firmly believe that with the right knowledge and resources, balanced eating is attainable for everyone, regardless of income level.
My Experience & Expertise
For nearly 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of working as a dietitian with clients ranging from children to older adults. Much of my experience comes from serving diverse communities in federally qualified health centers, where I was part of integrated medical teams in primary care clinics.
In addition to being a registered dietitian, I’m a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES)—a credential that reflects advanced training in diabetes management and education. This means I’ve completed extensive education and hands-on experience specifically focused on helping people with Type 1, Type 2, and prediabetes, and diabetes prevention.
As a CDCES, I offer more than just nutrition advice—I provide comprehensive support tailored to your unique journey with diabetes. This certification reflects my advanced training in diabetes care, equipping me to guide you through the complexities of managing the condition and help you make diabetes feel less overwhelming. Together, we’ll focus not just on nutrition, but also on physical activity, understanding medications, blood sugar monitoring, coping strategies, and recognizing potential complications.
If you’re ready to embark on a journey toward better health, I’m here to walk that path with you!
