About Crystal
Hi, I'm Crystal, a registered dietitian nutritionist living in the St. Louis metro east area. When I'm not talking all things nutrition, you can find me exploring the city's restaurants, museums, and parks! I also love humor and am always finding things to laugh about. I'm passionate about helping people build a positive relationship with food and create sustainable habits that support their wellness goals. Let's make healthy living fun, flexible, and totally doable!
Approach to care
As a mindfulness-based functional dietitian, I believe that changing our nutrition habits can be life-changing--not just for our bodies, but for our minds, emotions, and overall joy in life. My approach is holistic, blending science with mindfulness to help you tune into your body's unique needs. I want to empower you to get curious, grow from within, and discover a healthier relationship with food--without perfection or pressure. We can even find humor along the way, because laughter and lightness make the journey so much sweeter. Together, we'll create sustainable, nourishing habits that help you thrive in every way.
Your first session with Crystal
Our first appointment is all about getting to know you: your health history, current symptoms, and the goals that matter most to you. I like to begin by gently exploring what gives your life meaning and brings you joy. The more I understand about your daily rhythms and routines, the better I can support you in a way that truly fits your life.
