Donielle Kennedy

About Donielle

I am a registered dietitian and lactation consultant with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families in building healthier relationships with food. I hold a graduate degree in nutrition and also teach nutrition courses at the college level, bringing both clinical expertise and an educational approach to my work. My specialties include weight management, chronic disease, gut health, immune support, and women's health across all life stages—including fertility, prenatal and postpartum nutrition, and hormonal balance. I also have extensive experience in pediatric nutrition for children from birth to age five, including starting solids, baby-led feeding, oral/motor challenges, food allergies, and picky eating. My philosophy is rooted in intuitive eating and fostering a positive, sustainable relationship with food, empowering clients to make lasting changes that feel natural and supportive.

Approach to care

I believe in a personalized, compassionate approach that meets each client where they are. I use the principles of intuitive eating to guide clients toward a healthier relationship with food, encouraging lasting habits that feel natural and empowering. My goal is to support clients with evidence-based guidance while honoring their unique needs, preferences, and life circumstances.

Your first session with Donielle

Your first session is all about getting to know you—your health history, lifestyle, goals, and any challenges you’re facing. We’ll have a thoughtful conversation, not a lecture, and work together to create a personalized plan that feels realistic and supportive. I’ll take time to understand your relationship with food, answer your questions, and help you feel confident about your next steps. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, empowered, and equipped with practical tools you can start using right away.
