Meet Linda

Linda is a registered dietitian with over 30 years of experience spanning hospital nutrition, food safety, and health coaching. A lifelong foodie, she discovered her love for cooking as a teenager and continued to sharpen her culinary skills as both a mom and an at-home chef for her two daughters, Haley and Sara. Her greatest joy comes from bringing people together through food—whether it's hosting family gatherings, celebrating special occasions, or cheering on Penn State during football watch parties.

Counseling Style

Everyone has unique experiences with food, shaped by culture, religion, environment, and tradition. She encourages clients to move away from labeling food as “good” or “bad,” and instead view it simply as nourishing. Linda emphasizes that nourishment isn’t just physical—it’s emotional too. Sometimes, we need to nourish our souls just as much as our bodies, and both can be done with good health in mind. Her approach is rooted in compassion, creating a “no judgment” zone for every client she supports.

Education & Experience

Linda obtained her bachelor’s degree in Nutrition from Penn State and completed her dietetic internship at Yale-New Haven Hospital, in affiliation with the Yale University School of Medicine. She later earned a Master of Professional Studies in Nutritional Sciences from Penn State.

Certifications & Training

As a young mother, Linda developed a deep passion for the benefits of breastfeeding, which led her to earn a certification as a Lactation Education Counselor through the University of California San Diego Extended Studies.

Ramuel Holgado OnPoint Client

OnPoint Nutrition has been absolutely fundamental in helping me build lifelong dietary habits. I am much more conscious of the nutrition that goes behind my meals and most importantly for me, the portion sizes of the different foods I consume. The program is built in a sustainable manner in which you don't have to necessarily cut out any foods in your diet that you don't want to.

Jennifer Newton OnPoint Client

The OPN team helped get me setup with an awesome nutritionist that worked with my personality and I have been working with her ever since. I love the non-diet mentality and the fact that all food is good - there are no bad foods, this is all about moderation. With my nutritionist's help I was able to balance out the food I was eating which led to better gut health, more energy and overall feeling better.
