Hi, I’m Reina. I’m a nutritionist and ’24 graduate from California Polytechnic State University with a B.S. in Nutrition Science.
I have spent the past 4 years in an undergraduate nutrition program ranked first in the country in 2023 by Best Accredited Colleges. During that time, I was active in research in Nutrition and Dietetics and in a Food Microbiology laboratory studying probiotics.
My personal journey with Nutrition started when I developed chronic illness and food allergies. My struggles with my health pushed me to delve into research and deeply engage with the science underlying chronic disease and nutritional issues. By incorporating my knowledge of nutrition and physiology into my day-to-day life, I have been able to heal and reclaim my life and I have had the privilege of helping others to do the same.
In my nutrition practice, I take a holistic and evidence-based approach combining conventional nutrition education with cutting-edge research to transform your health. In our sessions, we will work at finding the root cause of your challenges and implement simple -but powerful- daily practices to address your nutritional needs.
I am a Health at Every Size (HAES) practitioner meaning that I will help you to meet your health goals while also helping you to heal your relationship with food and your body. I believe that wellness is for everybody, regardless of weight, health history, and background, and I will meet you where you are at on your healing journey.

Truly, a terrific and enlightening consultation experience with Reina!
Prior to our appt. she compiled a comprehensive supplement & powders spreadsheet with detailed ingredients, research findings of benefits and potentially harmful effects of the numerous Vitamins/Fatty Acids/Aminos/herbs/proteins & greens powders+, in which I take daily. As an active individual with GI sensitivities and a healthier diet - generally speaking, she gave further suggestions of certain supplements & beneficial foods to help my Gut Microbiome & overall health. Additionally, for cost savings she helped to eliminate unnecessary supplements with overlapping ingredients, and insufficient scientific data to support their proclaimed health benefits. Not only did she audit my overall supplementation inventory, she helped me to hone in on the most beneficial dietary balance needed for our family as well. I encourage anyone and everyone who's looking to find out more about their daily supplementation & overall diet, to book an appt. with Reina.
