About Kaitlyn

Hi, I’m Kaitlyn Ashner, RDN (she/her)! I believe nutrition should feel empowering—not overwhelming. My approach is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for your lived experience. I’m especially passionate about providing affirming care for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, neurodivergent individuals, and those navigating disordered eating or eating disorders. I specialize in creating supportive, inclusive spaces for people managing chronic conditions, healing their relationship with food, or going through major life transitions. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, feeling stuck, or just looking for a more compassionate approach to wellness, I’m here to walk alongside you with personalized, nonjudgmental guidance.

Approach to care

My approach to care is all about teaming up with you. Folks often tell me I'm "very easy to talk to" and a "great partner in navigating goals," which means the world to me. I truly believe in listening closely to your story and honoring your preferences, because this journey is all about you. I love helping people make meaningful progress without any pressure or shame, by providing actionable, evidence-based strategies that actually fit into your life. With over 95 4-5 star reviews, I'm so proud to know that my supportive and empathetic style is making a real difference.

Your first session with Kaitlyn

Your first session is a chance to exhale. We’ll talk about what brings you in—whether it’s your health, your relationship with food, or something else entirely. You don’t need to have all the answers. I’ll listen, ask thoughtful questions, and meet you exactly where you are. It’s a relaxed, judgment-free space where your experiences are honored. By the end, my goal is for you to feel grounded, understood, and more confident about your path forward. Ready to get started? Schedule your first session today—I’d be honored to support you.
