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

Clients often describe me as “very easy to talk to,” a “great partner in navigating goals,” and someone who “listens closely and provides an actionable plan.” Many share that I’m “knowledgeable and helpful,” “ask great questions to get to the root cause,” and “back up advice with flexible, evidence-based strategies.” With over 50 five-star reviews, I’m proud to be known for my supportive, empathetic approach and for helping people make meaningful progress without pressure or shame.

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.
