About Janelle

Hi, I’m Janelle, a Registered Dietitian with 24 years of experience. I earned a B.S. in Public Health Nutrition and completed the Didactic Dietetic Internship Program at the University of Delaware. My career spans clinical hospital care, private practice, corporate wellness, research, and sports nutrition, and I bring an evidence-based, compassionate lens to weight management and health. When I’m not helping clients, you’ll find me lifting weights, practicing yoga or Pilates, enjoying time at the beach, traveling, and savoring moments with family and friends. I’m an RDN and LDN, dedicated to meaningful, lasting change.

Approach to care

Together we’ll rely on current science and real life to create a plan that sticks. I believe in an empathetic, warm, and direct partnership where you feel heard and supported from day one. My approach blends evidence-based strategies with a holistic view of health, including sleep, stress, movement, and your relationship with food. I practice with a Health At Every Size inspired, weight-neutral lens and a focus on sustainable behavior change. Education, clarity, and practical steps help you own your choices and your health long after our sessions end.

Your first session with Janelle

Your first appointment is all about you. Think of it as a friendly conversation where we review your medical history, biomarkers, goals, and your relationship with food in a non judgmental space. We’ll set 1 to 2 short term goals and begin to craft a realistic meal plan that fits your schedule and preferences. You don’t need to have it all figured out yet. I’ll guide you with clear, doable steps and keep accountability gentle, collaborative, and focused on sustainable progress you can maintain.
