Radica Family Nutrition
I'm Cristina (she/her) — Registered Dietitian, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and the founder of Radica Family Nutrition and its sister practice, Aterra Nutrition®. I started both practices because I believe food should be a source of joy and nourishment, and that everyone seeking out a dietitian deserves nutrition support that fits their lifestyle.
My career started in public health, where I saw firsthand how nutrition messaging focusing on maternal health was sometimes doing more harm than good. That realization changed everything about how I practice. My team and I use a non-diet, weight-inclusive, trauma-informed approach: at Radica, for women's health, family nutrition, and mental health nutrition; at Aterra, for eating disorder recovery for teens and adults.
The people I love working with most are women navigating hormonal changes, postpartum recovery, or a complicated relationship with food; parents trying to feed their families without the stress; those in eating disorder recovery; people managing anxiety, ADHD, or burnout who are starting to connect the dots between what they eat and how they feel. Really, anyone done with diet culture and ready for something different.
My team and I offer virtual, personalized nutrition counseling rooted in the Intuitive Eating principles. We serve clients across VA, DC, MD, NJ, MI, and CA.
I want every client coming through our virtual doors to feel heard and held, without fear of judgement or of being dismissed.
We’d love to be part of your journey.
