About Caitlyn

I am a Minnesota-based Registered Dietitian, born and raised in Iowa (just can't get enough of the cold, apparently!). I've been practicing as an RD for about 2 years, specializing in one-on-one nutrition counseling for sustainable behavior change. Even as a Dietitian, I don't eat perfectly (not even close!). I'm just as human as everyone else. I love fresh leafy green salads, and also frosting-filled long john donuts with sprinkles on top - sooo good!

Approach to care

I'm all about improving not only your physical health, but also your mental relationship with food. I work to challenge diet culture beliefs and help you enjoy all food. Messages around nutrition have gotten far too confusing. I'm here to help sift through the weeds (& the BS) and discover what works for YOU! We're all just humans trying our best - food should make that easier, not harder. My approach to care centers around genuine discussion, honesty, research-based recommendations, and setting realistic, baby step goals together. Authenticity, empathy, and collaboration are key!

Your first session with Caitlyn

During our first session together, I like to focus on getting to know you! This includes your goals, your lifestyle, and what matters most to you when it comes to food and health. We'll talk about your eating habits, food preferences, medical history, and any questions or concerns you have, all in an open, judgment-free space. Together, we'll explore how nutrition fits into your everyday life and identify a few simple, realistic steps to support your goals. This initial visit is about building understanding, offering guidance, and take the first step to create a plan that feels supportive, flexible, and doable.
