About Jessica
My name is Jessica McAllister, and I'm passionate about helping people lead healthier lives. With over 19 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian and Health Education Specialist, I've had the joy of supporting countless individuals and groups in their wellness journeys. My background spans clinical, corporate, government, and sports dietetics, which has equipped me with a well-rounded perspective on nutrition. I offer personalized and supportive consultations to both individuals and organizations.
Approach to care
After gaining nearly 80 pounds during my pregnancy, I faced the challenge of balancing motherhood, a full-time job, and my health. Despite my nutrition expertise, I had to apply my knowledge to my own life. Through dedicated research and practical implementation, I successfully returned to my pre-pregnancy weight and surpassed my goals. My mission is to guide individuals toward better nutrition with pride, authenticity, and honesty. I understand women's unique challenges and am committed to providing support and encouragement. I foster positivity and optimism, showing my clients that the impossible can be possible with proper guidance and support.
Your first session with Jessica
During your first session with me, you can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where I will listen attentively to your concerns and goals. I aim to understand your unique situation and identify the "low hanging fruit" β those small, manageable changes that can make a big difference. My goal is to build your confidence in making lifestyle and nutrition changes, empowering you to see real results and feel more in control of your health journey. Together, we'll create a personalized plan that fits your life and sets you on the path to better nutrition and well-being.
