About Jaela

Hi, I'm Jaela! I have an MS in dietetics from BYU. I love research, academia and clinical nutrition. My experience helps me bring an evidence-based, real-world lens to your nutrition journey. Outside of work, I love hiking, weight lifting, running, baking, and spending time with my family and friends. I am grateful for the chance to help you build a sustainable, healthy relationship with food!

Approach to care

My care philosophy is collaborative, evidence-based, and warm. I believe in meeting you where you are and co-creating a plan that fits your life rather than a one-size-fits-all program. I emphasize education so you feel informed about why all of your goals are important and how they can benefit your life. I will completely accept you for where you are at right now and will be your biggest cheerleader in making positive change!

Your first session with Jaela

Think of our first appointment as a conversation, not a test. Our time is devoted to you and your goals. We'll review your medical history, discuss your current lifestyle, and take a deep dive into your relationship with food while we establish short-term goals you can actually reach. You don’t need to have it all figured out before we meet! We will uncover what matters most to you and how your daily routines fit your health plan. Then we will set 1 or 2 clear steps to start together.
