About Eliza

Eliza is a Nashville-based registered dietitian and nutritionist who helps people find peace with food again.

Over the years, she has supported kids, teens, and adults in treatment centers, hospitals, and private practice, always bringing empathy, humor, and heart to her work. Her approach is gentle and non-diet, focused on helping people heal their relationship with food and discover a way of eating that feels flexible, enjoyable, and sustainable. Clients often share that working with Eliza feels grounding, a space where they can breathe, be honest, and feel understood. Whether you’re working toward recovery or simply looking for more peace with food, Eliza meets you where you are and walks alongside you every step of the way.

Approach to care

Eliza believes everyone deserves to enjoy all foods and live a full, satisfying life, no matter their body size. Her care is weight-inclusive, anti-diet, and rooted in curiosity over judgment. She helps clients rebuild trust with food and their bodies, often using intuitive and mindful eating tools to support challenges like disordered eating, diabetes, heart health, or emotional eating, all without rigid rules or restriction. Her practice is gender-affirming and trauma-informed, honoring that healing looks different for everyone. Eliza celebrates progress, explores what feels good, and guides small, sustainable shifts that bring more confidence, calm, and joy to eating, one step at a time.

Your first session with Eliza

Reaching out for support is a big step, and Eliza understands the courage behind it. In your first session, she takes time to understand your story, your relationship with food, how you’ve been feeling, and the routines shaping your day-to-day life, so she can support you as a whole person. Follow-up sessions feel like supportive check-ins where you sort through what’s working, what’s not, and make small, doable adjustments together, whether that’s exploring simple one-pot meals, cozy slow-cooker ideas, gentle nutrition tools, or new coping strategies for tough moments. If you’re ready for support that feels warm, steady, and truly personalized, Eliza would love to meet you and walk with you as you build more ease, confidence, and freedom around food.
