About Abigail

Hi, I'm Abby. I take a clinical and functional approach to nutrition, specializing in celiac disease, gut health, functional medicine, intuitive eating, fertility, and pre- and postnatal nutrition. My work sits at the intersection of science and sustainability. I help individuals move beyond restrictive food rules and symptom-chasing to build a confident, personalized way of eating that supports long-term health. Whether you’re navigating a new celiac diagnosis, struggling with chronic digestive issues, preparing your body for pregnancy, or healing postpartum, I take a root-cause approach. We look deeper — at patterns, labs, lifestyle, stress, and nourishment — to understand what your body is asking for. My goal is not just symptom relief. It’s clarity. Confidence. And a way of eating that feels supportive — not stressful. You deserve to feel well in your body and at peace with food.

Approach to care

I believe nutrition should feel empowering, not overwhelming. My approach blends: Evidence-based medical nutrition therapy Functional medicine principles Intuitive eating foundations Personalized, bio-individual care I do not believe in one-size-fits-all plans, rigid food rules, or fear-based nutrition messaging. Instead, I focus on: • Identifying root causes — not just managing symptoms • Supporting gut integrity and digestive function • Honoring your life stage (preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, autoimmune care) • Building trust between you and your body • Creating realistic strategies that fit your real life Food is powerful — but so are stress, sleep, mindset, hormones, and lived experience. True healing happens when we look at the whole picture. My role is to guide you with clarity, compassion, and clinical precision.

Your first session with Abigail

Your first session is comprehensive, collaborative, and judgment-free. Here’s what we’ll cover: 1. Your Full Health Story We’ll review your medical history, symptoms, labs (if available), medications, supplements, lifestyle patterns, stress, sleep, and food history. 2. Digestive & Symptom Deep Dive Especially for celiac, gut health, and functional concerns, we’ll explore timelines, triggers, and patterns to identify potential root drivers. 3. Nutrition Assessment Not just “what you eat,” but how you eat, how you feel about food, and what’s sustainable for you. 4. Personalized Plan You’ll leave with clear next steps tailored to your goals — whether that’s symptom relief, fertility optimization, postpartum recovery, or rebuilding your relationship with food. This is not about perfection. It’s about progress, alignment, and creating a plan that works in your real life. You’ll walk away feeling: ✔ Heard ✔ Supported ✔ Educated ✔ Empowered with actionable next steps
