About Alejandra
Hi, I’m Alejandra! I’m a registered dietitian living in sunny Miami with my husband, daughter, and our energetic Siberian husky. My path to becoming an eating disorder dietitian began with a deep love of food, shaped by growing up in Peru and learning to cook traditional dishes with my family. That love has evolved into a career focused on helping people heal their relationship with food, without shame, restriction, or fear. I’ve supported clients across all levels of care, from residential treatment to outpatient recovery. Along the way, I developed a passion for working with ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) and pediatric feeding challenges, leading me to pursue advanced training in both.
Whether you’re navigating pregnancy, parenting a selective eater, or recovering from years of disordered eating, I meet you where you are, offering guidance that’s inclusive, developmentally appropriate, and always free from diet culture.
Credentials & Experience

FBT-Trained for Adolescent Eating Disorders
Extensive experience in residential, PHP, IOP, and outpatient care
A little about me
When I’m not supporting clients, you can find me experimenting with new gluten-free recipes (I have celiac disease, so I’ve tested everything), soaking up sunshine, or reading fantasy novels. I’m a proud Scorpio and total ice cream enthusiast.
I love spending time with my family, exploring herbalism, and advocating for more inclusive and culturally competent eating disorder care.
