Hi, I'm Angelina Baez, and I believe your health should add to your life—not take away from it.

​

Too often, nutrition and fitness are built around restriction, guilt, and chasing perfection. My philosophy is different. I believe food should nourish, movement should empower, and healthcare should leave you feeling heard rather than judged.

 

As a Certified Nutrition Specialist® (CNS® #19285) and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist (LDN #DX8855) with a Master of Science in Integrative and Functional Nutrition, I combine evidence-based medical nutrition therapy with a compassionate, whole-person approach. Whether you're navigating a medical condition, recovering your relationship with food, preparing for pregnancy, managing digestive symptoms, or simply wanting to feel stronger in your everyday life, my goal is to help you build habits that are realistic, sustainable, and uniquely yours.

 

My clinical experience includes working with individuals experiencing eating disorders, women's health concerns, prenatal and postpartum nutrition, lactating individuals, digestive conditions, mental health challenges, and chronic disease management across outpatient, residential, and community health settings. Those experiences have reinforced something I believe deeply: healing doesn't happen through shame—it happens through education, collaboration, and meeting people exactly where they are.

 

Movement has always been another pillar of that healing.

 

As an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, ACE Group Fitness Instructor, and Comprehensively Certified BASI Pilates Instructor, I love helping people discover that movement can become a source of confidence, resilience, and joy—not punishment. My sessions focus on building strength, improving mobility, reducing pain, and helping clients reconnect with what their bodies are capable of.

 

I'm also currently completing UC San Diego's Lactation Consultant Certificate Program (Pathway 2) as I work toward becoming an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). Supporting families through pregnancy, postpartum, infant feeding, and early parenthood has become one of the most meaningful directions of my career, and I'm excited to continue growing in this specialty.

 

The reason I do this work is personal.

 

Nutrition and movement transformed my own relationship with my body and my mental health during some of the most challenging seasons of my life. They taught me that health isn't about perfection—it's about creating a life where you feel strong, energized, confident, and supported. Today, it's an incredible privilege to help others discover what that looks like for themselves.

 

Whether we work together through nutrition counseling, Pilates, strength training, or a combination of services, my hope is that you leave feeling empowered with knowledge, confidence, and practical tools that support your health for years to come.

​

I'd be honored to be part of your journey.
