About Allison

Hi, I’m Allie. I’m a Registered Dietitian with 10 years of experience, and I hold a Masters of Food and Nutrition. I’ve spent much of my career in clinical and hospital settings, helping people translate medical information into practical, everyday choices. My work is guided by the belief that food should nourish both body and mood, and that sustainable change grows from small, doable steps. I’m grateful to work with clients who arrive with questions, curiosity, and ambition. My credentials include CNSC, LD, and RD, and I bring that training into our conversations to support your goals.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is simple: we rely on evidence-based science, but we apply it with empathy and warmth. I meet you where you are, without judgment, and I help you translate nutrition science into real-world actions. Together, we’ll set clear, doable steps and track progress in a way that honors your values and pace. I view nutrition holistically, considering sleep, stress, and relationships, and I empower you with knowledge so you can make informed choices long after our sessions.

Your first session with Allison

Our first appointment is about you. We'll review your medical history, symptoms, medications, and current eating patterns in a respectful, non-judgmental space. We’ll discuss your short-term goals and the bigger picture you want to achieve, and I’ll listen to what’s mattered most to you. You don’t need to come in with perfect answers or a finalized plan; together we’ll uncover priorities, address barriers, and outline one or two realistic goals to start. I’ll support you every step of the way.
