Carol Nocella

About Carol

I'm a Registered Dietitian Nutrition Coach, Certified Midlife Specialist, Certified LEAP Therapist with over 28 years of experience in a variety of clinical settings. I’m here to simplify nutrition and cut through the confusion of trendy diets. Having personally navigated these challenges, I understand how overwhelming it can be. In an empathetic, non-judgmental space, I’ll help you overcome roadblocks and build a healthy relationship with food. By understanding your goals and needs, I create lasting, positive changes tailored to you. Let’s make your journey to better health clear and enjoyable.

Approach to care

I believe nutrition should feel supportive, not stressful. With nearly 30 years of experience — and my own personal journey through health challenges — I understand how overwhelming it can be to navigate all the conflicting information out there. My approach is compassionate, realistic, and rooted in empathy. I meet you where you are, creating a safe, judgment-free space to explore your goals, your relationship with food, and what truly works for you. Together, we’ll focus on progress over perfection — building sustainable habits that support your well-being without pressure, guilt, or rigid rules. My goal is to help you feel confident, informed, and at ease with your nutrition journey, one step at a time.

Your first session with Carol

Our first session is all about getting to know you. We’ll take the time to explore your health history, current habits, goals, and any challenges you’ve been facing with food or nutrition. There’s no pressure to have it all figured out — this is a supportive, judgment-free space where you can speak openly and honestly. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to better understand your needs and priorities, and together we’ll start to create a plan that feels realistic and aligned with your life. This is a collaborative process, and your comfort and clarity are always my top priorities. By the end of our session, you'll leave with a sense of direction, a few actionable steps, and the reassurance that you don’t have to do this alone — you have support every step of the way.
