Caela Stenske

About Caela

I’m so happy to be serving the Nourish community and eager to meet you! A bit about me… I have been a Registered Dietitian for 8 years and have a breadth of experience working with general nutrition, athletic performance, metabolic disorders, gut health, nutrition support (tube feeding), cancer care and prevention, surgical nutrition, and chronic disease management (diabetes, chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, among many others). In my free time you can find me outside (learning to garden this year...!), playing board games with my fiancé, snuggling with my pup, and anything artsy (I am a painter and drawer)!

Approach to care

My approach to counseling you aligns with the Intuitive Eating and Health At Every Size® principles. Let’s get real… We don't have time to be following a strict diet, glued to calorie trackers, or criticizing our bodies in the mirror every day. My #1 goal and career passion is to provide my patients sound nutrition education and assist in personal goal development, while always promoting a healthy relationship with food and body. I will help you develop healthier nutrition and lifestyle practices, while promoting food freedom, mental health, self-confidence, and quality of life. Whether you are overwhelmed with a new medical diagnosis that requires dietary changes or just need support applying healthy nutrition and lifestyle practices in a realistic, sustainable, and flexible approach, I have the nutrition expertise to help you!

Your first session with Caela

You can expect our first session to be focused on kickstarting our dietitian-to-client relationship, building rapport, and starting your personal goal development. First, I just want to get to know you! What are your passions, hobbies, motivators? How do you learn the best? What does your typical day look like? What are your strengths? Where do you want self-improvement? I want to close our first session with an idea of who you are and what’s really important to you, so I can apply a holistic approach in our future counseling sessions.
