About Audrey

Hi, I'm Audrey. I'm a Registered Dietitian with five years of experience, based in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. I earned my MS in Nutrition and Exercise Science from Southeast Missouri State University and have worked in clinical hospital settings as well as in academia. When I'm not talking about nutrition, you'll find me hiking, spending time with family, cooking, reading, or crocheting. I'm passionate about helping people build lifelong eating habits, not quick fixes, and I love guiding patients through today's confusing nutrition information so they can feel confident in their choices.

Approach to care

Care for me means collaborating with you using evidence-based, science-informed guidance delivered with empathy. I translate current research into practical steps and meet you where you are, without judgment. We'll set clear, doable actions that fit your life and values, with a focus on sustainable habits over fast results. I practice a holistic, educational approach that considers your mental and physical well-being, and I strive to support a weight-neutral, HAES-inspired path that honors you as a whole person.

Your first session with Audrey

Our first appointment is all about you. We'll review your medical history, lab work and biometrics, and establish short-term goals together. This is a warm, low-pressure conversation where there's no need to have everything figured out yet. I'll listen, ask questions, and together we'll outline a couple of realistic steps to get you moving in the right direction. You'll leave with clarity, confidence, and a plan that fits your life today.
