Non-Diet Approach Nutritionists and Dietitians in Tacoma, WA

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.

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.

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 you are the best expert on your life and experience, 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).

You are not alone, whether you struggle with your relationship with food, an eating disorder, or body image. Using Body Trust and the Intuitive Eating framework, I help adults who long to feel at home in their bodies. To a place that's connected and attuned.
