I love working with clients to explore their relationship with food and body. You can expect that sessions with me will be individualized and collaborative - you are in the driver’s seat! You are the only one that has lived in your body, meaning that you have invaluable experience and wisdom about your own needs. Come with your questions, challenges and goals and we will create a game plan together. Sessions with me are warm and casual. I try to bring levity and laughter into the (virtual) room - but you get to be the judge of my jokes. I practice from an anti-diet, weight inclusive framework.

I am a highly organized, professional and self-motivated Dietitian with a great passion for nutrition and people’s well-being.

Richard Kim L.Ac has learned Eastern Medicine in L.A. and he studied more in Republic of Korea. And his one of the eastern medicine skills is a Chuna manipulation which is the treatment of pulling and pushing the muscle which balances your body by releasing the tensions in the muscle, ligament, disc, and vertebrae. After the Chuna manipulation, Richard Kim L.Ac helps the movement of the patient during acupuncture treatment in severe cases. This movement assistance during the acupuncture therapy eases the pain by releasing the muscles, and circulating blood very well.

I am committed to working with you to help you achieve optimal health and overall well-being through a variety of holistic and natural approaches. You will receive a personal one-on-one comprehensive history and examination, so that I may determine the cause of your symptom(s). I can then utilize chiropractic, acupuncture, applied kinesiology, nutrition, and other therapies to help correct the problem and not just put a “band-aid” on your symptom(s). I have a wide field of interests from children to athletes to women’s health issues and/or anyone looking to improve their health naturally.

You are unique, and your nutrition and lifestyle plan should be too! If you’re tired of trying different diets without desired results, are frustrated by all the crazy conflicting nutrition information out there, or want to feel more vibrant and balanced, I can help guide you. We'll work together to discover the root causes of your ailments.

Hi, I am Janelle Middleton, MPH, RDN, LDN. I completed my graduate course work at Loma Linda University in California and undergraduate studies at Dominican University in River Forest, Illinois. I have 8 years of RD experience and earned Employee of the Month in my previous clinical nutrition role. Since I would describe myself as very much a people person, naturally inquisitive, and a great listener, you can expect to feel heard and supported in our sessions. I pride myself on being empathetic and encouraging, while effectively holding you accountable to the goals YOU set for yourself.

At our first session, the average person tells me "I know what I need to do, I just wish I had the willpower to do it." Many rely on sheer willpower to accomplish their goals instead of learning how to make nutrition a simple and enjoyable process. Nutrition is not supposed to be this hard or guilt-inducing. It should primarily mold around your general life and preferences, not the other way around. My main approach to accomplish this is to build a basic understanding on why your old habits do not work, and why these new habits will work.

HI, I’m Alexis! I am a HAES aligned Registered Dietitian specializing in all forms of disordered eating, substance abuse, and medical nutrition therapy.

I also believe clients nutritionally affected by certain medical diagnoses can find joy in preparing meals consistent with their new version of health.

I know what it’s like to suffer from terrible fatigue, weight imbalances, digestive symptoms (constipation and diarrhea), skin issues, and hormone imbalances.
