About me

My name is Alejandra. I was born in Chile, a beautiful country in South America. I studied Nutrition and Dietetics there, and after graduating, I came to the UK to live. I lived for nearly a year in Bristol (England) and now I am based in Edinburgh (Scotland). During all this time, I haven been doing in-person and online nutritional consultations with patients from all over the world. I am a registered dietitian (HCPC) and a member of the British Dietetic Association (BDA).

​

I have been following a plant-based diet since 2017, and have been specialising in this area, as well as in the area of physical activity and psycho-nutrition. I believe we are a complex system, that must be approached taking into account all of our different dimensions (cultural, spiritual, social and emotional).

​

By following a plant-based diet, I have learnt all the benefits it brings, whether to our health, the environment and the animals. However you don’t have to follow this type of diet to have a consultation with me, I will help you if you prefer other diet patterns. The important thing here is that you achieve a good health and that you feel good with yourself. 

​

My motivation is to help you achieve your nutritional goals and help you engage in and manage your own good health. To achieve this, I assess each patient individually and thoroughly, so I can make an integral and evidence-based nutritional plan that you can follow. 

​

One of my main pillars is try and go back to a more natural diet. This means, try to avoid ultra-processed foods and prefer the real, whole foods on a daily basis. I will lead you with specific information, tips, counselling and recipe ideas to help you eat more natural!

If some of this made sense to you, then I welcome you to have a look on my website, read the blog and explore the services I offer. If you want, book an appointment, or write to me with your questions and I’ll be happy to reply!
