About Dawn
Hi, I’m Dawn. I’m a Registered Dietitian based in Somerset, MA, with five years of experience helping people build healthier relationships with food. I earned an MS in Food and Nutrition from Framingham State University and a BS in Health Studies from Bridgewater State University. In my clinical and community work, I’ve learned that sustainable change happens one small, doable step at a time. When I’m not working, you’ll find me on the golf course, snowboarding, at the beach, or enjoying time with my dog and loved ones. I hold the RD credential and the LDN credential, and I’m dedicated to evidence-based, empathetic care.
Approach to care
My care philosophy blends science with compassion. I rely on current evidence to guide our plan, but I never forget the human side of nutrition. We’ll work together in a collaborative, nonjudgmental space, turning knowledge into practical steps you can actually follow. I practice from a weight-neutral, Health At Every Size perspective and focus on sustainable habits rather than quick fixes. We’ll explore hunger, fullness, stress, sleep, and mood as part of a holistic approach. Education and empowerment help you make informed choices that fit your life.
Your first session with Dawn
Our first appointment is a warm, low-pressure conversation about you. We’ll start by deep diving into your relationship with food, review any lab work or biometrics you bring, and map out your medical history. Together we’ll set short-term goals that feel doable and meaningful, with no rush or pressure. You don’t need to have every detail figured out before we meet. I’ll listen, ask questions, and translate what we learn into a practical plan you can try this week and build on in the next sessions.
