About Jillian

I'm a Registered Dietitian with a deep passion for helping people build a healthier, more empowered relationship with food and their bodies. My approach is rooted in evidence-based science of nutrition, personalized care, and real-life experiences. I strive to make nutrition practical, personalized, and sustainable. As a former collegiate boxer, marathon runner and avid cyclist, I specialize in the connection between nutrition, performance, and recovery. Whether you're training for athletic performance or simply aiming to feel your best, I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to help guide your journey. I know that nutrition isn’t just about food—it’s about energy, confidence, and sustainability in a busy life. I offer a non-judgmental space to explore your goals through nourishment and every day planning. When I'm not with clients, catch me training outdoors, trying a new recipe or enjoying a strong cup of coffee. Let's get to work!

Approach to care

My approach is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based practice. I believe that every person’s relationship with food is deeply personal—and that effective care begins by listening without judgment and continuing honest communication about needs and progress toward goals. I believe that food can become a source of strength, not stress, and I have a unique understanding of the intersection between performance, body image, and nutrition. Whether you're managing a chronic condition, fueling athletic performance, or simply looking to feel better in your body through weight or other health goals, my goal is to take the stress out of food choices and empower you with the knowledge and tools to meet your unique goals. I meet clients where they are, helping them tune into their bodies, challenge themselves to meet their fullest potential and create sustainable life changes. Consider our sessions to be clear and concise, thoughtful, evidence-based and motivating.

Your first session with Jillian

Our first session is all about getting to know you—your goals, your relationship with food, and the factors that have shaped your nutrition journey so far. We’ll start with a comprehensive conversation about your health history, eating habits, medical background, movement routines, and any concerns or challenges you’re currently facing. Together, we’ll explore what’s working for you and what feels stuck or stressful. Whether you're looking to heal your relationship with food, support your athletic performance, or find more ease in family meals, my goal is to understand the full picture—not just what’s on your plate. By the end of our session, you can expect: A clearer understanding of your nutrition needs, an initial set of personalized, manageable steps, and a plan for ongoing support based on your goals and preferences.
