Katti Jackson

About Katti

I am passionate about eating disorder prevention and recovery. I believe everyone deserves to live a life that is aligned with the things that they value, and if food happens to be getting in the way, I hope to help in that healing process. As a former collegiate athlete, and current ultra trail runner, I also enjoy working with young athletes and recreational athletes alike as they navigate nutrition for performance in a way that allows them joy, peace, and sustainability.

Approach to care

I offer an individualized and compassionate approach to nutrition counseling. I believe that we are all unique individuals with unique needs and there is no one ideal way of eating. Using a non-diet approach, I assist clients with the “outer wisdom” of nutrition (science) while challenging them to explore and apply their own “inner wisdom” and mindfulness in order to regain a peace with eating. My desire is to see clients equipped to navigate food and movement with confidence, freedom, and enjoyment.

Your first session with Katti

In our first session we will spend most of our time discussing your health history and relationship to food. We will also explore the other factors in your life that might impact your ability to nourish yourself. This information gathering will be aimed at understanding who you are and what makes you "you" so I can assist you as best I can.
