About Katherine

Hi, I’m Katherine! I’m a Registered Dietitian who’s passionate about helping people use food as a tool to feel stronger, more energized, and confident in their bodies. I’ve spent over 9 years working in high-performance settings, including 6 years in the NFL and 3 years supporting U.S. Air Force pilots and special operators - but at the heart of my work is helping real people thrive in their everyday lives. I believe nutrition should support your life, not complicate it. My goal is to help you understand how to fuel your body in a way that feels doable, sustainable, and empowering - whether you’re looking to improve your energy, support your workouts, manage your weight, or simply feel better day to day.

Approach to care

My approach is all about education, flexibility, and building confidence around food. I don’t believe in strict rules or one-size-fits-all plans. Instead, I work with you to create a nutrition strategy that fits your lifestyle, preferences, and goals. I focus on helping you learn how to fuel your body for performance - whether that performance means getting through busy workdays, workouts, parenting, or life in general. Together, we’ll build habits that feel realistic and supportive, while also maintaining a healthy, positive relationship with food.

Your first session with Katherine

During our first session, we’ll talk through your goals, daily routine, nutrition history, and your relationship with food. From there, we’ll create clear, personalized goals and a simple plan you can actually stick with. You’ll leave with practical strategies and a clear direction - no overwhelm, no pressure.
