Allison Lachowitz

About Allison

I’m a registered dietitian with over 20 years of experience in pediatric nutrition. I hold CNSC and CSP certifications and have specialized training in food allergies through FARE. Pediatric nutrition focuses on supporting optimal growth and development through every stage of childhood. This includes breastfeeding/formula guidance, introducing solids, managing picky eating, and ensuring balanced diets. I provide medical nutrition therapy for GI conditions (such as reflux, constipation, celiac disease, IBS, and IBD), food allergies, feeding disorders, tube feeding, and specialized diets for conditions like autism and ADHD. I offer weight management guidance for children and adults.

Approach to care

I believe in meeting you where you are, providing a non-judgmental and compassionate approach. My approach is focused on practical, realistic solutions that empower clients to build lifelong healthy habits.

Your first session with Allison

In the first session for both pediatric and adult clients, you can expect a thorough assessment of your health and nutritional history. For pediatric clients, we’ll discuss your child’s eating habits, growth patterns, medical background, and any concerns like picky eating, food allergies, or weight management. For adults, we’ll focus on your current eating habits, health goals, and any specific nutrition-related challenges. Together, we’ll set realistic goals and create a personalized nutrition plan that fits your or your child’s needs.
