About Abigail

Hi! I'm Abbey, a registered dietitian with a master’s in Nutrition and Dietetics from Grand Canyon University. My lifelong passion for sports sparked my interest in nutrition and its role in supporting overall health and enhancing athletic performance. I've gained hands-on experience working over three years with D1 athletes on the University of Maryland Olympic and Football teams, giving me a unique perspective on fueling performance at an elite level. I've also worked for years as a kickboxing and fitness instructor, where I integrated personalized nutrition coaching with my clients to help them reach their fitness and health goals. I gained valuable clinical experience during my dietetic internship that further prepared me to provide evidence-based nutrition support to clients of all fitness levels and health backgrounds. My mission is to create personalized nutrition plans that help you achieve your goals, and enjoy a balanced, healthy lifestyle.

Approach to care

Evidence matters, and so does compassion. I translate current research into clear, practical steps that we can use together, while keeping a weight-neutral, behavior-focused perspective. I take a whole-person view, considering mental, emotional, and physical factors, and I educate along the way so you understand the why behind each choice. Expect direct, doable goals, ongoing support, and adjustments that prioritize sustainability over short-term fixes.

Your first session with Abigail

Expect a relaxed, judgment-free conversation where we'll explore your relationship with food and review your medical history. We'll get to know one another, talk about what has and hasn’t worked, and figure out what you want to get out of working together and how I can help. You don't need to have it all figured out. By the end of the visit we'll set a couple of realistic, personalized steps to get you started and plan how we’ll move forward together.
