Welcome to ASL Vegan Nutritionist, LLC

Hi, I’m Sandria — a Deaf, ASL-fluent plant-based dietitian and nutritionist dedicated to helping you thrive.

I’m certified in plant-based nutrition and specialize in vegan and vegetarian diets. I’ve lived a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle since 2010, so I truly understand both the benefits and the challenges that come with transitioning to (and maintaining) this way of eating.

My approach combines evidence-based nutrition with practical, real-life support. Achieving healthy weight loss and preventing or reversing chronic diseases requires more than just exercise — it starts with nourishing your body with high-fiber foods. These nutrient-dense foods naturally help you feel full, balance blood sugar, and support long-term health. The best part? You don’t have to count calories to see results.

As a Deaf dietitian who communicates directly in American Sign Language, I provide a culturally accessible, supportive environment for Deaf and hard-of-hearing clients. My services are tailored to your needs, your lifestyle, and your goals.

With my guidance, you’ll gain the knowledge, confidence, and motivation to make sustainable plant-based choices that lead to a healthier, more energized life.

Weight Management

I understand that diet and exercise must be balanced for successful weight loss. It's not just about exercising as much as you'd like, but also about eating fewer calories and more fiber, which can be a powerful tool for weight loss. I specialize in guiding individuals toward nutrient-dense plant foods that promote satiety, regulate blood sugar levels, and provide essential nutrients. Additionally, I can help those curious about vegan/plant-based lifestyles, including how to express ’plant-based’ in ASL, so you feel informed and confident in your journey towards a healthier lifestyle.

Chronic Condition Management

I first discovered the transformative power of plant-based nutrition through its ability to prevent, manage, and even reverse chronic diseases, quickly sparking one of my greatest passions. I am here to support you in taking control of your health through nutrition. Whether you’re navigating diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or other chronic conditions, I offer expert guidance and a compassionate approach to help you feel your best—naturally. As a proponent of plant-based nutrition, I can even help you learn how to sign 'plant-based' in ASL for those interested in a plant-based lifestyle. Small changes. Big results. Let food fuel heal.

IBS and Digestion

I help individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other digestive disorders. It can be highly frustrating and unpredictable to have IBS. Although there is no known cure for IBS, studies have shown that symptoms can be effectively managed with a FODMAP diet. I provide personalized guidance to help clients uncover the root causes of their symptoms. Understanding the restrictions these conditions can have on an individual’s quality of life fuels my passion for sharing tools and providing support to help clients improve their GI health and overall well-being. Additionally, I offer plant-based resources and incorporate meals into an IBS-friendly diet, ensuring that those who prefer plant-based options can also find relief.

With my extensive experience following a balanced vegan diet and assisting others in their journeys towards plant-based eating, I am well-versed in plant-based and can offer personalized guidance and practical tips to ensure you meet your nutritional needs. I am committed to supporting your goals and overall health, making your transition to a plant-based diet in ASL a positive and comfortable experience.
