About Hilary

Hi, I'm Hilary, a Registered Dietitian based in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. I bring 15 years of experience across clinical settings, private practice, community health, and in the Veterans Health Administration via the Home Based Primary Care program. I earned a BS in Nutrition and Dietetics from Western Carolina University and hold the credentials RDN and LDN. Outside of work, I’m an avid mountain biker and hiker who loves adventures with my kids and dogs, plus writing, reading, and outdoor photography. I practice with curiosity, warmth, and a partnership mindset, because lasting health grows from collaboration.

Approach to care

My care philosophy centers on evidence-based practice and a warm, collaborative partnership. I stay grounded in current science while honoring your lived experience, and together we'll translate knowledge into doable steps. I work holistically, recognizing that nutrition touches mood, energy, sleep, and daily life. I promote a weight-neutral, health-first approach that focuses on sustainable behaviors rather than quick fixes. Together, we'll build a plan that fits your life and values. My ultimate goal in life is to be of service to others; my career as a Registered Dietitian has allowed me to live in harmony with this goal for many years now!

Your first session with Hilary

During our first appointment, my goal is to put you at ease while getting to know you beyond your nutrition goals, exploring what motivates and inspires you as an individual. From our first session, we'll outline 1 or 2 simple, realistic steps you can start immediately, while over time setting a long-term, sustainable plan that respects your life, preferences, and pace.
