About Elizabeth

Hi, I’m Elizabeth, a non-diet dietitian dedicated to helping people build a peaceful, intuitive relationship with food, movement, and their bodies—without shame or restriction. My approach is grounded in Health at Every Size® (HAES®) and Intuitive Eating, focusing on overall well-being rather than weight as a measure of health. I understand that many seek nutrition counseling for weight loss, and your feelings are valid. While I don’t offer weight-loss guarantees, I support clients in exploring their goals and setting health targets aligned with their values. Together, we’ll develop sustainable habits around food, movement, and self-care, healing from chronic dieting and building a positive body image. I’d be honored to support your journey.

Approach to care

Intuitive Eating is the approach I'm passionate about and use to help my clients find a healthy, sustainable relationship with food. No more restrictive diets or rigid food rules - with Intuitive Eating, the focus is on what feels good and satisfying, not on the number on the scale. It's a weight-neutral approach that puts the emphasis on your overall health and wellbeing, not your weight. you're ready to ditch the restrictions and make friends with your body, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

Hobbies

Outside of my work as a dietitian, you can usually find me tending to my garden, moving through a Pilates flow, or getting lost in music. Gardening keeps me grounded (literally), Pilates helps me feel strong and centered, and music—whether I’m listening, dancing, or singing—brings me so much joy. These practices help me stay connected to my body, creativity, and the rhythms of everyday life.
