About Deanne
Nutrition has been my career for 33 years, beginning with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from Radford University and many clinical years working in hospital settings. As an RD and LD practicing in Manteo, North Carolina, I enjoy helping people translate science into everyday habits that last. Outside the clinic you'll find me running, walking our dogs, cooking and swimming, boating or fishing, reading, catching live music, or traveling anywhere with our five children. I bring clinical experience and a real-life perspective to every patient encounter.
Approach to care
I base recommendations on current research while centering your values, preferences, and life circumstances. As an RD and LD with decades of clinical experience, I aim to be warm and educational, so we'll learn what your body and routine are telling us. I practice from a weight-neutral, Health at Every Size perspective, focusing on behavior change and whole-person wellbeing rather than a number on a scale. Together we'll choose clear, practical steps, track what works, and refine strategies so changes are sustainable and grounded in evidence.
Your first session with Deanne
Expect a relaxed, judgment-free conversation where we'll review your medical history and talk through your routines, wins, and frustrations. I want to understand your goals and what feels realistic, so together we'll establish short-term, actionable goals that fit your life. You don't need to have it all figured out before we meet. We'll leave with clear next steps, practical strategies to try, and a plan for follow-up so progress feels manageable and supportive.
