About Erin

Hi, I'm Erin! I'm a Registered Dietitian specializing in Sports Nutrition, Emotional Eating, Intuitive Eating, and Overall Wellness based in Des Moines, Iowa. I earned my Bachelor’s in Dietetics at Iowa State University and my Master’s in Exercise Physiology with a Sports Nutrition emphasis at Florida State University. I've worked with experts across various fields, from hospitals and private practices to Division I sports teams and the NFL. I'm passionate about helping you find balance—staying active, enjoying life, and understanding that no foods are off-limits. Let’s build your confidence and knowledge to live life to the fullest!

Approach to care

As a Dietitian, my approach is to meet you where you are and focus on small, sustainable changes. Nutrition is connected to culture, emotions, environment, celebrations & more. I respect all that it encompasses, helping clients believe in themselves while defining and reaching new health goals. With empathy & gratitude, I tailor an approach that suits you. My mission is to help men and women gain confidence in their nutrition choices, free from fear of food. Whether addressing performance goals, emotional eating, or overall health, my goal is to have you completing each session feeling that much more confident in your nutrition choices and trusting your body and the signals it provides you!

Your first session with Erin

In the first session, we will complete an intake assessment, covering topics such as your health history, current lifestyle, struggles and eating habits. These intake questions build the foundation of our future sessions and help to clearly define the personalized approach we will take from there. These sessions are for you, so as we collaborate together to work through your nutrition and health goals please do not hesitate to ask any questions that may arise- you have my full support! I'm looking forward to getting to know you and tackling your health goals together!

I love trying new coffee shops and enjoy just about anything outdoors! I've recently taken up hot yoga and enjoy attending power sculpt classes. If you asked me what my favorite food is it would be a close tie between peanut butter and ice cream!
