As I began my journey of becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), I started on a path of discovery of what it means to be truly healthy and to help others. After completing my undergraduate studies in Nutritional Science & Dietetics, I went on to obtain my Master of Public Health Degree at UCLA and to complete my accredited dietetic internship at the VA Hospital in Los Angeles.
Since then my career has taken me to places all around the world - Europe, the US, and Africa. From world class medical centers in the US to tiny villages in rural Africa, I have studied nutrition and the common factors that contribute to our health and diet. Along the way, I discovered fascinating new cultures, recipes and ways of relating to food.

Mascha is a knowledgeable, helpful, caring, and supportive registered dietician.
I had previously adhered to more restrictive and rigid approaches to food which, in turn, created more manic feelings, and I ended up eating more.
Mascha has successfully gotten me to reevaluate how I approach eating food--and has undone 20+ years of counterproductive methods to bring me where I am today--a happier, more balanced eater who is on a slow, deliberate path to make myself a stronger, healthier person.
I highly recommend her!

Prior to seeing Mascha, I was trying to lose weight while my husband while trying to gain weight. For the life of us, we couldn't get the scales to inverse. Either we were both gaining or both losing. I was also doing a ridiculous amount of exercise without seeing any effect on the scale.
After researching various nutritionist in the West LA area I stumbled upon Mascha's Nomadista Nutrition practice with rave reviews. I was a bit skeptical at first, but all those fears were unfounded as we were immediately impressed from the first session.
She asked very holistic questions, listened

Earlier this year I found myself dealing with a complicated and enigmatic medical challenge. I saw a series of traditional specialist physicians who all tried to solve the problem through their own narrow lens. But nothing worked.
And then I saw Mascha. Working with her, I realized that much of what I was experiencing was due to a single root cause: diet and nutrition. Mascha transformed my approach to food, and my health bounced back almost immediately. It sounds kinda magical and miraculous, but I've realized it's all about the fundamentals. You truly are what you eat.

To be honest, Mascha has a greater degree of expertise and broader scope of knowledge than many medical doctors I've encountered--- including specialists charging $500-$900 a visit. I came in with a couple issues I wanted to address, and she not only zoned in on those but offered top of the line, cutting edge approaches including genomic testing and comprehensive lab recommendations. No guesswork here; just solid, evidence-based solutions and answers.
We all know what it feels like to go to a bunch of different practitioners in search of answers. As someone with an extensive background

I would highly recommend Mascha! She gives you small changes that help you develop your habits not just for a few months, but for the long run. She keeps me on track and has helped me have a better and healthier lifestyle which is incredibly crucial during this transitional period of my life. If you're looking to make a healthy change, go to Mascha!

I went to see Mascha after exhausting all of my efforts to get to my optimal weight while not being hungry all the time. I do vigorous workouts 5 days a week but that ends up making me voracious and at the end of the day still feeling like I haven't eaten enough. Had been making my own meals at home to no avail.
From our very first meeting she made some simple modifications to my diet, taught me about good whole grains versus bad and within a week I lost 3 pounds, best of all without feeling hungry at all. Fast forward to 6 weeks in and I have reached my goal weight, feel much more energetic

Highly recommended!! Mascha is extremely knowledgeable and up-to-date on the often confusing world of nutrition. She was able to help figure out a long-term approach to my diet which was focused on my fitness and muscle building goals. It's had a massive positive effect on my health and nutrition. Her approach is enthusiastic, compassionate, very well-rounded and based on science... not fad diets and trends. One of the first, and most useful things we did was a kitchen and shopping edit. She helped me select the best options at the market, assessed my diet and the products and recommended

I just got engaged, so now I've started ramping up to meet my weight loss goal in time for my wedding in Oct. 2018. I've signed up for her weekly meal plan. The recipes are surprisingly pretty easy to make and really good even though some of the meals are lacking in meat. I love eating meat, but I'm now ok cutting down on it and having vegetarian meals from time to time. I was never into beans, but the recipes with beans are very tasty and quite fulfilling that I don't get hungry quickly afterwards. I like having a weekly meal plan to follow. My insurance is still covering the

It is my pleasure to write a review for Mascha. As a dietetic intern (a registered dietitian in training) I work with a lot of dietitians, and I can honestly say that Mascha is one that stands out among many. Not only does Mascha understand nutrition and health, but she is also incredibly warm, positive, and easy to work with. I've worked with Mascha for 6 weeks, and in that time I've seen her literally change people's lives simply by guiding them through small and manageable changes. Mascha has a very holistic approach to her practice: she not only focuses on nutrition, but also

I can't recommend Mascha highly enough, she has been the voice of reason throughout my pregnancy. She has been both reassuring and effective in helping me manage and balance my blood sugar, weight, and nutrition goals, all while working hard to make sure my plan is full of foods I enjoy and look forward to. She is extremely knowledgeable and both scientific and holistic in her approach. She helped me get my blood sugar under control within 1 week and somehow made the process enjoyable. She also goes above and beyond, continually checking in on my progress, even while she was on vacation!

Finding a specialist that is right for you is no easy task, which is why I'm so grateful to have been connected with Mascha! Her positivity and encouragement always leaves me excited to achieve the goals we have set. Not to mention her deep knowledge and understanding of the field. She truly goes above and beyond any expectations I had before visiting her.

Mascha is an amazing dietician! She has helped me with my nutritional goals and showed me how to pursue them. I've been seeing her for a few months now and I feel terrific! Even when I have had personal setbacks she has been there to help me continue to thrive. My lifestyle has completely changed with her support. I've quit smoking, cut out most fats and sugars from my diet, and am engaging in workout routines that I never thought were possible for me. Thank you for everything Mascha, I appreciate your help!

Mascha is great. She helps me with a personalized and realistic plan considering my 6-7 day work week schedule... she adapts to my likes and really is easy to work with and has a lot of knowledge and ideas that work in the modern society and modern way of living for active busy young adults. I tried a few nutritionists in LA since I moved here and she's the only one who wouldn't send me to ten different grocery stores for ten different items. Thank you Mascha for all your efforts

I was pregnant and having trouble eating healthfully (I was repulsed by vegetables), and Mascha advised me on some tips to incorporated veggies into smoothies. With her great recipes and suggestions I was able to make sure my baby got his nutrients until the veggie aversion passed. I am grateful, and now have a healthy 3 month old baby to boot!

Mascha is an amazing dietitian and nutrition expert to work with. We have worked together through corporate wellness workshops where she takes a practical, fun approach to educate and motivate employees on their nutrition and health. Not only is she incredibly knowledgable and one of the best at what se does, she is one of the most easygoing and friendliest people I know, and she goes out of her way to her clients and those around her feel cared for.

Mascha is wonderful at her job. My husband and I have lost a combined 20 pounds after less than three months of seeing her. She works with you on your terms and is nice and non judgmental about your situation. There is no quick fix and Mascha knows that. She works with you slowly to achieve your goals. She's shown us a ton of new products and how to reframe our thinking about healthy eating. It's such a positive environment. Follow her on Instagram as well for super awesome recipes!
