Do you find yourself frustrated with chronic dieting? Concerned that you may be sliding into disordered eating habits or perhaps looking for added support in your eating disorder journey? I am the owner and registered dietitian of The Intuitive Dietitian where we take a holistic approach to nutrition therapy.

I offer a weight neutral, client-centered, non-judgmental, trauma informed and somatically oriented approach to nutrition counseling where we work together to explore and heal your relationship with food and body image. I specialize in working with folks who have eating disorders, disordered eating, diabetes, PCOS and athletes. These experiences help inform my nutrition practice and I’m excited to continue to learn from the clients I have the privilege of working with now.

Are you struggling with fatigue, brain fog, hormonal acne, irregular periods, hair loss, or digestive issues? Are you confused by all the conflicting nutrition advice out there and you are looking for some guidance? My mission is to help women finally feel their best and feel confident about nutrition without needing to obsess over food.

I love helping individuals of all ages to heal relationships with food, eating, and body image. I have experience providing nutrition counseling for different levels of eating disorders and disordered eating, Medical Nutrition Therapy for disease states, as well as general nutrition education from an evidence-based approach. I have a passion for busting nutrition myths and educating about what we can add rather than subtract from our diet.

At least 80% of people who seek long-term weight loss will regain that weight. And so begins the cycle that many find themselves in - up and down, up and down. If you feel the frustration of that rollercoaster and are ready to discover your 'why' and begin the path to sustainable weight loss, then I am ready to partner with you in achieving your goals.

I’m a registered dietitian with a private practice that supports individuals struggling with eating disorders, chronic dieting, and body image issues - for the folks I work with, food feels hard. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space for all individuals to share and process their experiences - my style is warm, accessible, and not without humor. I regularly integrate nutrition science with body-based (somatic) practices and therapeutic coaching to help my clients learn to nourish themselves from the bottom up, with confidence.

I enjoy treating people who want to take an active role in their health. I work with the body's innate ability to heal by promoting balance and removing health obstacles. I work hard to understand you as an idividual, and not as a list of symptoms. I do my best to educate and communicate about your treatment, so that you feel comfortable every step of the way. I encourage you to schedule a free consultation to get to know each other and get all of your questions answered before we begin our partnership in your health care.

We know change is not easy. We know finding food freedom can sound scary (maybe even impossible). It is our mission to guide you through uncharted territory and give you the knowledge and support you need to make real and lasting changes. Our approach to health and nutrition is weight-inclusive, and will always focus on finding peace and balance with food and exercise. We are continuously educating ourselves to provide a safe and welcoming space for all individuals. We work to analyze eating habits together and make changes based on where you are.

We are experts in empowering you to better health. By focusing on the real issues causing your health conditions, we take the time to educate and guide you through a program, for you to have the health you want and deserve. Imagine waking up feeling refreshed, getting dressed and feeling confident because of how well your clothes fit, having a clear mind, knowing how to feed and fuel your body in a way that you enjoy and keeps you healthy, having your hormonal levels in balance, being able to physically move your body to enjoy travel, time with kids/grandkids, and being able to get a solid night sleep, every night, without drugs.

If you are struggling to develop a peaceful relationship with food, know that you are not alone. Confusing messages telling us how to eat, what to eat, and when to eat can make us wonder why eating has gotten so complicated. The short answer: it doesn't have to be. Whether you have been diagnosed with an eating disorder, suffer from disordered eating, or just want to know how to nourish your body without going on another diet, I can help.
