About Gillian

Hi, I’m Gillian, a registered dietitian based in New York City with five years of experience helping people build healthier relationships with food. I earned my BS from Johnson & Wales University and my MS from Hunter College, and I’ve practiced across clinical and hospital settings, private practice, neurobehavioral nutrition at the Richmond Center Rehabilitation Center, and functional nutrition at Physio Logic NYC. Outside of work I love cooking, running, reading, and practicing Pilates. I bring warmth, curiosity, and evidence to every session.

Approach to care

My care philosophy blends science with compassion. I believe in meeting you where you are and guiding you toward durable, enjoyable changes rather than quick fixes. We’ll work collaboratively, with clear steps and practical strategies that fit your daily life. I practice from a holistic, weight-neutral perspective and embrace Health At Every Size principles, focusing on behaviors, wellbeing, and sustainable living rather than restrictive diets. You deserve an approach that educates, respects your choices, and supports lasting change.

Your first session with Gillian

Our first session is a conversation, not an evaluation. We’ll review your medical history, talk through your lifestyle, and explore your relationship with food. I’ll also review any lab work or biometrics you bring so we have a complete picture. You don’t need to have it all figured out yet — just show up as you are. Together we’ll set 1–2 realistic, personalized goals and lay out a practical plan you can start implementing right away.
