About Janelle

Hi, I'm Janelle, RD, MS, LDN. I have 15 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian, with a BS in Exercise Sport Science from Elon University and an MS in Dietetics from Meredith College. I’ve worked across corporate wellness, clinical settings, and long-term care, helping people apply science to real life. When I’m not with clients, I’m often running, practicing yoga or Pilates, cooking, or reading. I value evidence-based nutrition delivered with warmth, guiding you toward sustainable habits that fit your goals and daily life.

Approach to care

Together we’ll base our plans on solid science while honoring your values and everyday realities. My approach is empathetic and warm, never judgmental, and always focused on practical steps you can actually implement. I blend education with collaboration, guiding you to understand how food affects your body and life without dieting or shame. I practice with a health at every size mindset, prioritizing behaviors that support long-term health and a balanced relationship with food.

Your first session with Janelle

Our first appointment is a warm, collaborative conversation designed to put you at ease. We’ll review your medical history, talk about what you’re hoping to change, and set short-term goals that feel doable. You don’t need to have everything figured out yet; we’ll explore what’s worked for you in the past and what you want to try next. We’ll also review any lab work or biometrics so we can translate numbers into practical steps you can actually follow.
