About Jennifer
Nutrition and movement have been practical passions for me, which led to a Bachelor’s in Nutrition and Exercise Science and an MS in Nutrition from Illinois State University. For five years I have worked as a registered dietitian in community health and academics, mixing hands-on care with evidence and inquiry. As an RDN and LDN with CDCES and CPT training, I focus on small, realistic changes that fit your life. Outside of work I enjoy strength training, walking, and home renovations.
Approach to care
Science guides the recommendations I offer, and education is at the center of our work together. I use a weight-neutral, Health at Every Size mindset to focus on behaviors, not the scale, and I translate current research into clear, practical steps. You’ll find my style warm and nonjudgmental, but also direct and action-oriented. Together we’ll set manageable goals, build sustainable habits, and address the whole person, including stress, sleep, and daily routines.
Your first session with Jennifer
Expect a relaxed, judgment-free conversation where we review your medical history and identify short-term goals that feel doable. We’ll talk through what’s working in your current eating pattern, what feels challenging, and how small adjustments could fit your lifestyle and family needs. You don’t need to have everything figured out, just come ready to be honest. We’ll leave with clear, practical next steps and a plan for how we’ll move forward together.
