About Brandis
My name is Brandis. I'm a Registered Dietitian, mom of four, running enthusiast, and beach bum at heart. I live in southern MN with my husband and four daughters. My journey into the world of nutrition was driven by a strong belief in the healing power of food. While my experience has ranged from working in neonatal nutrition up through geriatrics, I currently focus my career on prenatal, postpartum, and pediatric nutrition providing individualized, evidence-based care. I work with toddlers and children experiencing feeding difficulties, sensory concerns, type 1 diabetes, and other complex medical needs. I can also help with various concerns during the pregnancy and postpartum period, along with managing emotional eating, building a healthy relationship with food, and eating to support your overall wellbeing. Nutrition can be intimidating without the right person in your corner, so let's talk it through together!
Approach to care
My approach to counseling is first and foremost patient centered. I want to get to know you, meet you wherever you're at in your journey, and build goals from there based on your needs in a 100% judgment free zone. With kiddos I want to be a partner with both child and parent to reach those goals and help tackle nutrition needs or feeding difficulties together as a team, based on your child's specific needs.
Your first session with Brandis
Our first session together will be very informal and get to know you. I come into every session with curiosity, especially that first one. We'll talk through your health and nutrition history, your goals, and current habits to build a strong foundation for our future sessions to start from.
