About Caitlyn

Hi I'm Caitlyn! I’m a Registered Dietitian and Board Certified Specialist in Obesity and Weight Management with over 4 years of experience in weight management and bariatric surgery. However, I also have experience in heart disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes, emotional eating, disordered eating patterns, chronic dieting, and patients struggling to gain weight. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Sports Biology and a Master of Science in Food, Nutrition, and Dietetics, blending exercise science with evidence-based nutrition care. My approach is anti-diet, science-driven, and focused on realistic lifestyle change. I support clients in building sustainable habits, improving their relationship with food, and achieving long-term health without restrictive diets. I specialize in working with busy adults, bariatric surgery patients, and individuals seeking compassionate, personalized care.

Approach to care

Tired of diets that don’t stick? You’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. My approach is anti-diet and evidence-based, designed for busy people who want more energy, better health, and a sane relationship with food without obsessing over every bite. We’ll create realistic, personalized lifestyle changes that fit your life. No restrictive meal plans. No guilt. No “starting over Monday.” Just sustainable habits that support your health and well-being. What to expect: • No more dieting. We’ll focus on you, not the scale • Flexible, non-restrictive nutrition that fuels your life • Science-backed tools to improve energy, digestion, and mood • Mindful, intuitive eating so you feel in controL, not deprived • Support that fits your real life. This is progress, not perfection. Let’s build a healthy lifestyle you enjoy—and one that lasts.

Your first session with Caitlyn

During your first visit, I’ll conduct a thorough assessment of your eating habits, lifestyle, and health goals. We’ll discuss your medical history, medications, supplements, typical food intake, physical activity, sleep, stress, and any health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or digestive issues. This helps me understand your unique needs and create a personalized nutrition plan. The session is collaborative and educational. I’ll share evidence-based guidance and help you set realistic goals. Instead of a rigid diet, we’ll focus on sustainable changes that suit your lifestyle, preferences, and culture. You may leave with meal ideas, label-reading tips, portion strategies, and a gradual action plan. Follow-ups ensure progress, accountability, and ongoing support.
