About Hailey

Hi, I’m Hailey Summer, a Registered Dietitian based in Columbia, SC. With over 5 years of experience in the field, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, specializing in chronic conditions like high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, and weight management. My true passion lies in helping people build healthier, more positive relationships with food. Having personally experienced the pressures of diet culture, I’m deeply committed to supporting others who feel trapped by it. My goal is to guide you toward a place of physical and mental wellness, where you can nourish your body without guilt or restriction.

Approach to care

With a compassionate, evidence-based approach, I guide clients to understand nutrition in a way that nurtures both their physical and mental well-being. I believe in creating personalized strategies that not only support healthy weight management but also foster a positive mindset toward food, free from guilt and restriction. My goal is to help you feel confident, in control, and energized as you embark on your health journey—without the stress of fad diets or unsustainable extremes.Together, we'll cultivate a balanced and sustainable approach to food that supports your long-term health and well-being.

Your first session with Hailey

Our first session will be all about getting to know each other! Majority of the time will be spent with me asking a lot of questions and listening to all of your health and nutrition related concerns and goals. From there, we will work together to develop a personilzed plan with realistic steps you can take to work toward your health goals.
