About Courtney

Hi, I'm Courtney, an RD based in Phoenix, and I bring 13 years of experience across sports nutrition, corporate wellness, community health, and research. I earned my MS in Health Sciences from Western Carolina University, and I still love turning complex nutrition concepts into simple, practical steps you can use every day. Outside of work you'll often find me cooking, staying active, or cheering on my husband and kids. I'm passionate about helping you feel confident with food again.

Approach to care

My approach is evidence-based and empathetic, grounded in the latest science while staying fully human. I work with you as a partner, and together we'll translate research into practical steps that fit your life. I practice Health At Every Size, focusing on sustainable behaviors, body respect, and mental wellbeing rather than quick fixes. I take a holistic view, considering sleep, movement, stress, and your relationship with food. Through clear explanations and ongoing education, I empower you to make informed choices with confidence.

Your first session with Courtney

Your first visit is about you. We'll slow down and make it a judgment-free conversation where you can show up as you are. We'll review your medical history, discuss your daily routines, and dive into your relationship with food. You'll share what's working and where you struggle, and together we'll establish 1 to 2 small, realistic goals for the coming weeks. No need to have it all figured out beforehand; we'll co-create a simple plan that feels doable and hopeful.
