Nutrition Counseling Nutritionists and Dietitians near 55416

I take a client-focused approach and have experience with nutrition counseling, eating disorders, weight management, women's health and sports nutrition. I will work with my client to help them reach their goals and be your biggest cheerleader. I will be there to answer questions, give (honest) feedback and if you want assistance in making lifestyle adjustments, I am your person!

Eating is complex and personal. Eating can be joyful and nourishing or filled with conflict and pain from past experiences, sometimes passed down through generations. Aside from our individual and family history, our culture and often the world of health care can be harsh and stigmatizing about matters of size and shape and lead people to be in a constant battle with their bodies. Further, the world of nutrition and healthy eating advice can be full of contradiction, misinformation, and rigidity. Finally, any sort of physical issue or illness affected by eating behavior and food choices make it hard to know how to eat to be well.

Food has the unique ability to bring people closer together and promote healing. However, mental health profoundly impacts food. By creating sustainable eating patterns, overcoming food biases, and weight stigma, I helps clients redefine their understanding of health to focus on overall well-being, rather than just weight and dieting.

As a licensed physician who works in a functional medicine model, Certified Nutrition Specialist, and health coach, I work with patients with chronic diseases and symptoms to optimize their health and limit their medications through identification and healing of their core health imbalance(s). I see patients who are dealing with a wide variety of symptoms, including fatigue, anxiety and depression, IBS, autoimmune disorders, fibromyalgia, arthritis, leaky gut, menopausal issues, and cancer risk reduction-primary and secondary.

I'm passionate about helping individuals develop & maintain a peaceful relationship with food. I whole-heartedly believe that proper nutrition plays an important role in keeping one’s mind and body functioning to the best of its abilities, but that it doesn’t need to be as complicated as society might lead one to believe. I believe in an "all foods fit" approach and will strive to help you optimize your nutritional intake while honoring your body's hunger cues & genuine cravings. I'm a Health At Every Size RD and focus on behaviors with food over the number on the scale - because there is so much more to health than what you weigh!

I strive to build confidence in your choices and become more in tune with your body's cues and needs. I seek to help my clients meet their wellness goals through an individualized approach. Whether you are looking for general nutrition education, improving your relationship with food, or other nutrition and health related challenges, I look forward to partnering with you on your journey.

My goal is to help people of all ages develop and maintain a peaceful relationship with food. Eating is meant to be enjoyed. However, eating can often become complex, confusing and stressful. I use a non-diet, Health at Every Size (HAES)-informed, "all foods fit" approach to help individuals build trust in themselves and their bodies. Let's optimize your nutrition while honoring hunger cues and cravings.

I am a non-diet Registered Dietitian, certified yoga instructor, and certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. I’m passionate about using weight-inclusive nutrition expertise to help clients facilitate body image healing and recovery from disordered eating. Aligned with the Health at Every Size principles, I believe all healthcare should be trauma informed and social justice oriented - because all people, (regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation/expression, abilities, & socioeconomic status) deserve appropriate and affirming care.

I love to empower my clients through nutrition education, giving them the personalized tools and resources they need to optimize their health and well-being. My background in medical nutrition therapy allows me to integrate a clinical approach into realistic nutrition strategies to help you reach your goals. Specialties include healthy eating and wellness for adults, families and children; digestive health; food allergies and hypersensitivities; sports nutrition; weight loss and weight management, women's health from pregnancy through post-menopause; emotional eating and nutrition therapy for chronic diseases.

I specialize in sports performance and eating disorder care. I help athletes and active individuals ages 15-40 heal from disordered eating, an eating disorder or Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S). My passion lies in helping others break free from diet culture, develop a positive relationship with food and achieve peak performance. I practice from an anti-diet, Healthy At Every Size (HAES) lens, meaning you will never hear me demonize food or bodies.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by all the different messages in the media around nutrition and exercise? Does it feel like all the information you’re exposed to just leaves you feeling confused, defeated, or frustrated? Are you finding your thoughts around food and your body are taking up more space in your mind than you would like? Are you looking for guidance on how to nourish your body with nutrition and movement in a way that works individually for you, while taking into account all the factors that make you unique? If you relate to any of the above, I am happy you are here :)

I am a dietitian who works with individuals looking to explore their relationship with their food and body. I use a weight inclusive, non-diet, and all foods fit approach. I desire to prioritize each individual’s unique needs and values wherever they are at in their healing journey. I encourage individuals to show up as their whole selves as I provide a collaborative space to explore the systems of oppression that influence our relationship with our food and bodies. I intentionally invite LGBTQ+ and gender nonconforming individuals who are seeking nutrition therapy with a clinician who will honor their unique lived experiences.
