Nourish Your Mind & Body to Eat without Guilt or Fear
Diet-Free Nutrition Coaching for Disordered Eating & More
?
Hello and Welcome!
We live in a society that’s food and weight obsessed. This can have detrimental impacts on our body image and relationship with food. But it doesn’t have to.
I’m proud to offer weight neutral, judgement-free care that will help you quite obsessive food thoughts, feel in control of your habits and find a place of peace with food and your body.
My personal challenges with disordered eating, prediabetes and ADHD help me to provide unique approaches to enhancing your well-being.
I whole-heartedly welcome in all ages, races, genders, sexual orientations and abilities with respect.
How Can I Help?
I Struggle with Binge Eating
Binge/emotional eating can feel hopeless. You’re not alone and recovery is possible.
I Have or May Have ADHD
ADHD can impact your eating behaviors and your eating behaviors can impact your ADHD.
I Have a Medical Condition
Many medical conditions can be managed through food, without feeling like you’re on a diet.
John R. Dina has really changed my relationship with food. I was impressed by her knowledge/training on the science of food, and her ability to persuade me to set realistic goals that can be achieved, and then sustain them. Her interpersonal skills and emotional presence were amazing. I have lost 30 lbs in the last 6 months, and have kept it off by understanding that "slightly hungry" and "slightly full" is how I should manage my food intake. Thank you Dina! - 4/02/2023
ES I felt like Dina understood my food problems better than I did myself. She helped me achieve things I didn't think were possible. Before we worked together I was a huge emotional eater, felt very out of touch with my body and treated exercise like a chore. It was so hard for me to stay consistent with my food or exercise.

She helped me achieve things I didn't think were possible. Before we worked together I was a huge emotional eater, felt very out of touch with my body and treated exercise like a chore. It was so hard for me to stay consistent with my food or exercise. Now, I no longer have obsessive thoughts about food, I can regulate my food intake based on my body's own signs of hunger and fullness, and I move my body just to feel good. I'm not eating perfectly but I feel that I can be consistent with feeding my body well and I don't feel guilty when I give into a craving, nor do I lose control like I used to. I'm forever grateful for my time with Dina. She is an excellent choice for a nutritionist and will really take the time to listen to your needs and help you shift to do-able habits. read less - 4/02/2023

Gina F. Being a two-time cancer survivor and told by my doctors that being overweight puts me at high risk for another cancer recurrence; I knew I had to get healthy. But, feeling totally overwhelmed with the emotional toll of trying to recover from having 2 surgeries in 2 years, going through chemo, and not knowing anything about nutrition; I knew I couldn’t do this on my own.

But, feeling totally overwhelmed with the emotional toll of trying to recover from having 2 surgeries in 2 years, going through chemo, and not knowing anything about nutrition; I knew I couldn’t do this on my own. I searched online and found Vida Nutrition. When I met with Dina, I explained my health issues, my food limitations due to cancer, and being a picky eater. I asked her point blank; can you help me with this? The conviction in her voice when she said, “yes, I can”, assured me this was possible. I was successful in losing weight and keeping it off by developing a healthy lifestyle that works for me. Every step of the way, Dina was there listening, guiding me with her knowledge, encouraging and supporting me. Dina’s professionalism is only outshined by her kindness. She’s a great listener, very supportive, and not judgmental. Needless to say, I’m a firm believer that if Dina was able to help me get healthy, regardless of my medical issues and limitations, then I’m sure she can help anyone be as successful. I highly recommend Dina Garcia of Vida Nutrition. read less - 5/02/2021

I have been working with Dina since April!I started seeing her because I could tell my eating habits were getting out of control and for the past 3 years I was gaining 5-7lbs each year and I knew that if I didn't do something it would get out of control quick. I had tried all the diets and plans out there and nothing worked. I havent been feeling great in general (tired, unmotivated) and felt like I was binge eating often.

I started seeing her because I could tell my eating habits were getting out of control and for the past 3 years I was gaining 5-7lbs each year and I knew that if I didn't do something it would get out of control quick. I had tried all the diets and plans out there and nothing worked. I havent been feeling great in general (tired, unmotivated) and felt like I was binge eating often.
Dina was great because it became so much more than just having a nutritionist! To me it felt like a therapy session and I mean that in the best way possible!
Ive leaned so much about myself. About food. About self talk and mindful eating. It has changed my life. Its changed the way i few foods, the way I think about myself and my relationship with food in general.
Its become so much more than just trying to lose weight (which I have lost 5lbs do far!) but more importantly I FEEL amazing. And its all thanks to the help and lessons I've gotten from Dina! read less - 6/14/2019

Karen M. I met Dina Feb 2015 and I was very frustrated and needed a change.From my first visit I was able to start implementing things into my life that really made a difference. Her no diet mentality is what has allowed me to over come my food issues and finally get on with my life. I would recommend her 1000% and I look forward to continue working with her for years to come. - 10/04/2016
