I take an objective approach to food with a focus on mindful eating. From a place of curiosity and care, I hope to help you identify how food makes you feel - both how it fuels and satisfies you. I believe that food and eating impacts us mind, body and spirit. As a dietitian, I understand the nutrient density of foods plays a role in health promotion. That being said, I believe that eating food simply for the joy of it and limiting stress around eating can be just as important. My intention is to provide you with straightforward yet gentle nutrition information as well as applicable tools and skills to help you eat and live well

How can an Austin Nutritionist help me?
Dietitians and Nutritionists in Austin provide advice on good eating habits. They help you with your diet and how it affects your health. They assess nutrition needs and food patterns, plan a diet that's appropriate for your physical and dietary needs, and provide nutrition counseling, such as advice on dietary changes and menu plans. They advise on special diets for medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, food allergies, and obesity.

The word dietitian has a variant spelling 'dietician' (e.g. find an Austin dietician). Both spellings are correct.

About Austin Registered Dietitians
Registered Dietitians or Registered Dietitian Nutritionists in Austin complete a bachelor's degree at a school accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, as well as a period of supervised practice and an exam administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration. While certification is not required in all states for nutritional counseling or nutrition therapy, only individuals certified by their respective states may use the Certified Dietitian or Certified Nutritionist titles.

How to use my insurance?
Some Nutritionists and Austin dietary professionals accept health insurance. Check to see if your insurance is covered. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the Nutritionist or Dietitian.
