Sheila is a registered dietitian nutritionist with a passion for supporting individuals in developing a healthier relationship with food and their bodies. She earned her master’s degree in nutrition and dietetics from New York University and completed her dietetic internship at BALANCE Eating Disorder Treatment Center in New York City, where she worked with clients across the spectrum of eating disorders in both group and individual settings. During her training, Sheila gained experience in medical nutrition therapy and community nutrition with a strong emphasis on patient-centered, compassionate care.
Sheila has worked with diverse populations, including children, adolescents, and adults, tailoring nutrition interventions to meet each individual’s unique needs. She brings a deep understanding of cultural food preferences, body image challenges, and the importance of individualized care.
Having recovered from an eating disorder herself, Sheila brings empathy, understanding, and lived experience to her work. She is dedicated to helping others explore their relationship with food, challenge fears, and cultivate a sustainable, balanced approach to eating. Her philosophy blends evidence-based nutrition with a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, empowering clients to nourish their bodies in a way that supports both physical and mental well-being.
