As a Registered Dietitian for Lighthouse Nutrition and Wellness, I enjoy working with clients who realize how important lifestyle and diet are to their health and overall life quality. These people are strongly motivated to make healthy changes and are willing to let us help. I've greatly helped clients in making healthier and lighter food choices, improving their lifestyle to help reduce their weight, and with reducing disease markers such as high blood pressure, blood sugar and hyperlipidemia. I've enjoyed working with many ages and also have a few child clients I enjoy working with.

With 22 years of clinical experience and 20,000+ hours of hands on time with clients, I bring a wealth of healing experience to every session. Specializing in John Barnes Myofascial Release, I gently work with the fascia, releasing the binding and holding patterns it can form over time. Unresolved injuries, accidents, scars or emotional traumas occurring with these events can leave you feeling like you are trapped in a tight web, unable to break free. But with a mix of compassion, intuition, and expertise I can help you break free! Giving lasting results not achieved in other treatments.

As a practitioner of acupuncture and Chinese medicine I use subtle information from the body to promote healing. I enjoy using visceral manipulation, cranial sacral, ashiatsu massage, cupping, and moxibustion to address musculoskeletal pain, psychoemotional issues such as insomnia and addiction, and improving digestion. I provide the body with subtle information so that the body's own life force can be strengthened. I chose the name Joy Point Acupuncture, because good medicine should put people at ease and on a path towards well being. Every breath, every movement and every point should bring us closer to our joy and bliss.

Are you feeling completely out of control with food? Do you feel like you can't stop eating? Are you afraid to eat anything at all? Are you constantly afraid you will gain weight if you eat what you want? If so, it probably feels like there is no hope for you to stop stressing constantly about food and simply eat normally.

There are so many messages out there these days that tell us what and how we "should" eat. These messages tell us to abide by prescriptive “diets” or practices, and can keep us from trusting or connecting with ourselves. If you’re ready to break free from diet culture, and are hoping to restore your relationship with food, body and/or movement, but are wondering where to start, I’m here to help!

Nearly a decade into my dietetic practice, I know the recipe for success. I’ve worked with clients perplexed with weight loss and weight gain alike. I’ve worked with infants and ninety year olds, ultra marathon athletes and those struggling to get off the couch. One thing I know for sure is that eating healthy doesn’t have to be hard. I’m here to teach you how to make it easy. I specialize in creating unique strategies and solutions for the busiest of people to meet their personal health goals.

I strongly believe in the power of food as medicine. I work with my clients to treat their health concerns using a natural, whole foods approach. My main areas of expertise include food allergies/sensitivities, digestive disorders such as IBS and SIBO, diabetes, and cardiovascular health.

My ideal client is motivated to improve their health but may feel overwhelmed by the complex world of nutrition. They could be juggling multiple chronic conditions, unique dietary needs, or weight management goals. They seek not only to alleviate symptoms but also to enhance their overall well-being. They desire personalized guidance to navigate their specific challenges, aiming for sustainable lifestyle changes. They value support in understanding how nutrition fits into their busy life, driven by the wish to feel empowered and confident in their food choices.

Work with you every step of the way to meet your nutrition and performance goals. Whether you are looking to find ways to improve your eating habits, lose weight and build strength, or manage a chronic disease, I will take a personal and individualized approach to helping you clients reach your goals.

How many diets have you tried and quit? What if I told you that it wasn’t you failing the diet, but the diet failing YOU? Many of us grew up believing that thin equals healthy, and that sticking to rigid rules around eating and moving would lead to happiness and success. But in reality, sticking to food rules creates stronger and stronger cravings, feelings of powerlessness or guilt, and disconnection from the body’s signals of hunger, fullness, thirst, and more! Dieting can even lead to total loss of control, binge eating, and shame spirals. To heal a chaotic relationship with food, the first step is understand this cycle.

I have a growing practice of all ages. I enjoy working with people to unravel the symptoms they are experiencing. I've found that often the symptoms we are experiencing aren't always directly related to the area in the body with the dysfunction. Sometimes we have to treat several different parts of the body in order to treat our symptoms in other areas. The modalities I use not only work to treat the cause of the problem, but they also help the body to heal itself, which are two of the foundational principles of naturopathic medicine.

Dr. Harris (she/her) is passionate about empowering clients to nourish the joy in eating, feeding, and moving. Dr. Harris' weight-neutral and trauma-informed approach to counseling, education, research, and parenting are grounded in the evidence-based Eating Competence model that incorporates flexibility, attunement, trust, and embodiment in eating and moving.

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 do medicine differently…I know that you are more than the sum of your parts, that’s why I’ve gone beyond the limited approach of “standard of care”. I specialize in investigating the underlying factors that are causing you to feel the way you do. I’ve spent decades dealing with the most complex medical cases you can imagine. My integrative approach to wellness utilizes functional medicine alongside naturopathic philosophy and mind body methods to find the root cause behind your health problems.

My goal as a dietitian is to help you cultivate a relationship with food, movement, and body image that supports your big dreams-whether that is training to climb mountains, stepping out of a dieting cycle, or feeling more at peace with your body. Much of my experience has been focused on working with adolescents and adults through eating disorder recovery at various levels of care. As an avid adventure seeker, I am also passionate about offering nutrition counseling to help athletes and weekend warriors crush goals in various activities and sports. I offer virtual nutrition counseling services in Washington and Tennessee.

I'm a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and trained Functional Dietitian focusing on holistic approaches to healing chronic and complex diseases. My areas of focus include women’s nutrition (PCOS, endometriosis, menopause, amenorrhea and other menstrual disorders), digestive disorders and diseases (IBS, SIBO, Celiac, Crohn’s, Colitis, and dysbiosis), metabolic conditions (blood sugar dysregulation and high cholesterol) and autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. I specialize in fertility nutrition for those trying to conceive, including general support and those going through Assisted Reproductive Technology.
