Non-Diet Approach Nutritionists and Dietitians in Tacoma, WA

I'm here, I'm queer, and I am so excited to support my clients on their journey towards radical body liberation from the overwhelming oppressions of current societal and cultural norms. I believe that we all have rebellion in our roots, and by harnessing that power we can challenge the thoughts and belief systems that no longer serve us and come back to our authentic selves.

Hi, my name is Rachel Dyal (she/her). I enjoy working with all clients as they navigate an eating disorder or disordered eating. Due to the four years I spent as an US Army Dietitian, I have experience supporting Service Members and Veterans as they navigate the immediate and long-term impact of the intense pressure and scrutiny military environments place on eating, movement, and physical appearance. I also support Service Members' loved ones as their eating and body image is often influenced by the military eating environment.

I love working with clients who are looking ditch diet culture, to redefine what "health" means to them, and to improve their relationship to food and body. But sometimes, the journey toward body acceptance and intuitive eating is complicated. Complex medical issues like autoimmune conditions, food allergies/intolerances, and disordered eating patterns can disrupt the relationship we have to our bodies. Most of my clients are sitting at this intersection, ready to explore a new framework and rebuild trust in their bodies.

We are a team of anti-diet dietitians supporting adults and teens to eat intuitively and improve their relationship with food. Let us, partner, with you to be your nutrition guide, so you can find the solutions that result in positive experiences around food and nourishing your family. We are Registered Dietitians currently working with families virtually or at one of our offices in Portland, Vancouver and our new Bend office.

With the plethora of pervasive nutrition advice and a culture fixated on health and thinness it makes sense to be overwhelmed, frustrated, and hurt by the task of feeding and caring for ourselves. Messages about “good” versus “bad” foods (and bodies) pervade our psyche from the youngest of ages. We are made to believe that there is a path to the perfect body and diet, and that it is just around the corner if we only continue the exhausting pursuit. The diet culture we all live in steals happiness and makes us become distrustful of our bodies. I firmly believe there is another way, a more sustainable approach to food and health.

If you're feeling like you're losing a longstanding battle with your body, you're not alone. Or perhaps your constant attempts to control food ends up feeling like food is controlling you and your life. Again, you are not alone. You do not have to live a life that is limited by food rules, even if they're in the name of health. You do not have to live in constant worry about what others will think of your body. You do not have to waste the majority of your precious mental and emotional capacity ruminating on food and your body. Because: you were born for great things.

How would you like a 50% reduction in chronic inflammatory symptoms in just 2 weeks? No medications... just straightforward diet changes. Our clients typically experience at least that from symptoms of IBS, migraines, chronic fatigue, brain fog, arthritis, eczema and more with continued improvement over time as the immune system continues to calm down and healing happens.

We live in a chaotic world full of challenges and deciding what, when and how to eat can be one of them. But it doesn't have to feel like this forever! Whatever your struggle may be, I'd like to help make eating feel less challenging. Using motivational interviewing skills, I focus on understanding the complex and unique struggles each patient is experiencing and helping guide them towards sustainable and manageable solutions to last a lifetime.

Are you fed-up with the rollercoaster of dieting? Overwhelmed by conflicting diet advice? Are thoughts about food and body claiming too much of your headspace? How would it feel to NOT spend so much time and effort analyzing and second guessing your food choices? You are not alone and you don't have to figure this all out by yourself! Many of us are taught messages about food and health as far back as we can remember, and all of these “rules” can feel overwhelming. I'll help you sort through the noise and find ways to nourish your body in a way that makes sense for you and your goals.

We all have different experiences that shape who we are. I collaborate with my clients using a non diet, Healthy at Every Size (HAES) approach to help them find peace and contentment in their relationship with food, their bodies and their lives. I work with both adolescents and adults. I offer tele-health and see clients in person in Tacoma and North Seattle. I am a certified mindful eating teacher and have worked with clients individually and in groups for 23 years. I also teach meditation. My website is www.mindfuleatingseattle.com

Do you have a chronic gut issue (such as SIBO, IBS, Crohn's, Ulcerative colitis, GERD) keeping you from feeling your best? We'll work together to develop a personalized action plan, taking your current diet and lifestyle habits, environment, gut health, genetics, family history (and much more) into account.

Emily practices out of Health Loft and specializes in working with Eating Disorders, Disordered Eating, Plant Based Diets, Digestive Issues, Body Image Concerns and other conditions.

Feel like your food and body struggles are taking over? Are you eating in secret, hiding food, or covering up how much or how little you've eaten? Obsessing over your weight and/or body shape? If so, and you're here reading this, it sounds like you realize that something needs to change. I've helped hundreds of people out of these struggles, and am confident I can help get you on the road to recovery too.

I'm Linden Hale (she/her/hers), and I am a weight-inclusive Registered Dietitian. I specialize in eating disorders/disordered eating, menstrual health, digestive health, and relationships to food and body. I love working with patients of all genders, neurotypes, and identities who are ready to explore their relationship to food with curiosity and compassion with an affirming care team. I know that the best expert on your life and experience is you, so I take a collaborative, client-led approach to my work. My counseling style includes humor, sarcasm, compassionate honesty, and appearances by my two Corgi dogs (Barley and Pepper).

Embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing with a passionate advocate for well-being for every body. As a Registered Dietitian and Intuitive Eating Counselor, I am here to guide you towards a transformative relationship with food, your body, and ultimately, yourself. My commitment to this path was born from a personal odyssey – a battle with disordered eating fueled by racism that ignited my passion for nutrition. The journey was challenging, but it equipped me with invaluable insights that empower my mission today.

Hi there, I'm Abby! I am currently accepting telehealth clients in both Oregon and Washington. As an Anti-Diet Dietitian, I enjoy helping individuals who want to improve their overall health and vitality through a positive relationship with food, body, and movement. Together, I help my clients find health-promoting behaviors that work for them, rather than implementing strict food rules or diets. Nutrition therapy is not just about what you eat - but the psychology behind how food and eating makes you feel and how past experiences/society may impact that.

I enjoy working with people to make realistic dietary changes to improve overall health and wellness. Nutrition plans are customized to meet your individual dietary needs, goals, and preferences. Whether you are seeking assistance to manage weight, dietary changes for medical necessity, or you find yourself overwhelmed by all the conflicting nutrition information in the world today, we will develop your personalized diet plan to promote, easy to follow, optimal eating habits that foster a positive and functional relationship with food.
