I'm inviting all individuals who need a fresh start to their recovery. A fresh start looks like: needing to work through challenges that still remain from previous eating disorder treatments; an introduction to that body of yours who has been waiting to be "friended" by you; wanting to know how very different a nourished brain behaves and finally- meeting a hybrid dietitian who safely, wisely helps you eat, move and live in a body that's hungry for change.

My ideal clients are women and individuals navigating weight management, sports performance, disordered eating, and building a healthier relationship with food. Many come to me feeling overwhelmed - unsure where to start, tired from trying approaches that didn't last, or simply looking for someone to help them cut through the noise. They're not looking for a rigid plan or a list of rules. They want guidance that actually fits their life.
I provide individualized, one-on-one care grounded in behavior change and realistic goal-setting.

I understand that life’s challenges are complex and unique to each individual. Busy schedules, limited nutrition resources, and complicated relationships with food are just some of the many factors that contribute to failed diet and lifestyle changes. I’m here to help you establish a healthy relationship with food and guide you through the connection between mind, body, and spirit to accomplish your goals. I firmly believe that wellness is a dynamic process of change and growth, “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease“.

Tracy And Amy Trauma Informed Nutrition Therapists
Nutritionist/Dietitian, RD, LD/N
Springfield, IL 62704
It is not often we are encouraged to honor our bodies needs. We live in world that teaches us to "watch it" and "have it together", especially around weight and food. Unfortunately, this constant pressure to "be good" can play a role in constant dieting, restricting, binging, purging and an all or nothing attitude around exercise. Fortunately, we can make peace with food and our bodies again. Our approach of trauma informed nutrition counseling and coaching teaches non-diet eating and body wisdom skills to learn to trust and feel safe inside the body and manage chronic issues such as burned and stressed out, PCOS and gut health.

My clients are open to trying a different approach to improve their health. While they are curious to the latest trends, they do not have the money, or time, trying the latest “magic potion”. They want a long-term solution to resolving their pain, trouble sleeping and lack of energy, that will fit into their already demanding schedules.

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.
