Non-Diet Approach Nutritionists and Dietitians in Tacoma, WA

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

I'm Lisa (she/her), a Registered Dietitian, with a private practice located in Tacoma, Washington. My goal, desire and commitment to my clients is to help and empower them to make peace with food and their bodies, with a specialty in nutritional counseling for those who struggle with eating disorders, disordered eating, feeding issues and poor body image. I am an "anti-diet" dietitian and practice through a Health at Every Size (HAES) and weight-inclusive care lens, incorporating intuitive and mindful eating principles and practices.

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.

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 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.

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.
