Ellen Handlan

About Ellen

I’m a Registered Dietitian and Certified Nutrition Coach passionate about helping clients find joy and inspiration in nourishing their bodies. My focus is on creating balance and sustainability, helping you feel confident and energized without restriction or overwhelm. My background includes clinical, bariatric, and functional nutrition settings. I love blending science with a compassionate, realistic approach that meets you where you are.

Approach to care

My approach is highly personalized and rooted in food freedom, balance, and long-term sustainability. Rather than focusing on elimination or perfection, we’ll explore your habits, mindset, and unique goals to build a plan that genuinely fits your lifestyle. I emphasize curiosity, self-awareness, and nourishment over restriction, helping you feel empowered and at ease with food.

Your first session with Ellen

Our first session is all about getting to know you: your goals, routines, and the “why” behind your nutrition challenges. Together, we’ll identify simple, realistic strategies that move you toward your goals without stress or rigidity. You’ll leave with clear next steps, actionable guidance, and a sense of support in a judgment-free space.
