Health Professionals in Rhode Island

Hi there! My name is Cassie and I'm a Registered Dietitian offering virtual counseling to RI, MA, and NH residents. I'm a firm believer that imparting small, practical changes is crucial to enjoyably achieving health and wellness goals that can be sustained in the long-term!

What I love about Five Element style acupuncture is that it helps to get at the root of long standing problems. Whether you are dealing with chronic pain, eating disorders, relationship issues, deep seated fear, anger issues, prolonged grief, feelings of isolation and sadness, all these things can be worked with with Five Element acupuncture. Though you may not think of acupuncture for emotional or mental issues, in Chinese Medicine they are not separate. Usually it is the emotional component that is the key to unlocking the physical manifestation of illness. This is deep and lasting healing.

With my previous position as adolescent dietitian for in higher levels of eating disorder care, I have a special passion for eating disorder work. I may have years of formal education under my belt, but what I will never presume to know is how you “should eat.” I love helping people find an eating pattern that suits their needs, wants, and circumstances. I practice with a Health at Every Size framework that allows you to explore your health values regardless of your body size.

Are you looking for ways to achieve health in a more holistic way? Maybe you are looking to add complementary & alternative therapies into your current health practice. If so consider yourself both seen & heard. I treat an array of conditions ranging from chronic to acute illnesses. Whether you are struggling with an autoimmune disease, digestive complaints or simply seeking general nutrition & lifestyle guidelines, there is something for you here. I believe in the body's innate ability to heal itself when it is provided with proper individualized support. Functional lab testing and diagnostic methods are one way to achieve this.

Hi there! My name is Lesley Varone and I am glad you are here. I live by the belief that there is no such thing as a “good” or “bad” food, they are simply different. My goal is to empower clients to live well by cultivating a positive and nourishing connection with food, fostering body acceptance, challenging diet culture norms, and understanding the broader societal influences on food and body image.

I am a Non Diet/HAES Dietitian and a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. My passion is to help people who struggle with chronic dieting and eating disorders. I help my clients develop a healthy REAL INTUITIVE relationship with food, by stopping the "food worrying" and labeling food as "good or bad" and becoming their own experts when it comes to listening to their bodies. My approach is very unique and individualized. I work with children, adolescents, college students, adults and all genders.

I specialize in performance nutrition, mindful/intuitive eating, eating disorders, co-existing food fears & anxiety disorders including OCD.

As a weight-neutral dietitian, my mission is simple: I promote a non-diet mindful & intuitive eating & fueling philosophy, believe that ALL foods fit & that choosing foods that we find enjoyable is essential. I provide client-centered counseling. This enables us to work together as a team & places you in the “driver's seat."

First taught by my grandmother to help with my father's headaches, I have been doing massage all my life. I pursued it as a career after receiving prenatal massage while pregnant with my daughter.

With experience working in clinical dietetics, nutrition education, and eating disorder treatment, I've seen just how important a good nutritional foundation is for our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. I see clients via Telehealth in my virtual practice to help with various concerns such as eating disorders and disordered eating, stress management, pregnancy and postpartum nutrition, family nutrition (from introducing solids to picky eaters to growth and development), intuitive eating, health concerns (stress, cardiac issues, blood sugar management, etc.), or just a desire to improve overall health and well-being.

I specialize in fertility / infertility acupuncture, pain management acupuncture and stress disorders, but my practice is multi-fold and I work with far more than just that. I work with my patients from a holistic perspective, in which we look at diet, lifestyle and all else that can influence health. While I use acupuncture (and other Chinese healing modalities when necessary), I like to see that the patient is able to find freedom from symptoms and retain positive health on their own through their newly found knowledge about their health.
