About Kaitlin

Hi, I’m Kaitlin! I know that trusting someone with your health is a big step, and I don’t take that lightly. I’ve worked in this field for nearly a decade and have had many unique experiences (ranging from retail dietetics, management, personal training, and individual counseling) which have given me a diverse perspective that I bring into each session. I believe being healthy has nothing to do with “willpower”. Motivation comes and goes, but having the right systems, habits, and environment can make the healthy choice the easiest one, even on those really tough days (when there's just SO MUCH going on). My approach is rooted in realistic, evidence-based guidance that fits your life. We’ll meet where you’re at and build up step-by-step to where you want to be. I’m PASSIONATE about nutrition and wellness. It truly excites me to always learn more about it and to share what I know! I’m here to be your biggest cheerleader and to hold you accountable when you feel you need extra support.

Approach to care

Whether your goals are big or small, I’m here to be a reliable, supportive partner. No judgment, never any fads. Just clear, personalized strategies that help you feel confident in your choices and empowered in your progress. Nutrition doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or restrictive. We’ll work together to create a way of eating that supports your goals, helps you feel good in your body, and makes sense for your lifestyle. My goal is to help you feel your best, whatever that means for you. If you’re looking to take back the reins with your health, fit gentle wellness into your life, or are looking for support with weight management, heart health, aging healthfully (or all of the above!), I think we’ll be a great fit.

Your first session with Kaitlin

During our very first session, my focus is on getting to know you! You’ll have the floor to share your goals, what’s going on, and what you’re looking for, and I’ll have lots of questions to help me best understand where you’re coming from. We’ll talk about your current habits, lifestyle, medical history, and any challenges you've faced along the way. From there we’ll begin to craft the plan that will lead us forward based on what’s most important to you. There’s never judgment - this is a supportive space to explore what’s working, what’s not, and how we can move forward together. You’ll leave the session with clear, actionable steps to work on until our next session (and you’ll have the reassurance that you’re not doing this alone!).

Education

BS in Dietetics from North Dakota State University

Hobbies

I am a self-proclaimed homebody. Nothing thrills me more than a quiet day with ample time for reading, baking, cooking, organizing, and getting out in the yard with the pets or to putz around in the garden (tons of excitement over here!). I do love staying active throughout the year and incorporate in quite a bit of strength training, walking, biking, & sometimes running & swimming (and snowshoeing...I do live in MN after all). When I do decide to leave the house I love antique stores & thrift shopping!
