About Kellie

Hi there, I am so glad you're here! I'm Kellie, a registered dietitian of ~4.5 years and proud to be a part of the Nourish community. I have a strong and diverse background in the clinical setting (both inpatient and outpatient) and feel confident in my ability to help others with a variety of nutrition-related challenges. So, whether you're looking for general nutrition guidance, assistance managing chronic illness, support with weight management, or relief from GI-related issues, I would love to help! I look forward to meeting you and starting our journey together soon!

Approach to care

I believe in individualized, research-based, experience-backed nutrition counseling and care. I believe in a collaborative, supportive, and judgement-free approach. I believe in the "all foods can fit" mentality and the development of attainable goals and sustainable patterns. Most of all, I believe that small changes produce big outcomes--which is such a rewarding experience for both myself and my clients! Throughout each session, we will work together to analyze challenges / progress, select appropriate interventions, and develop specific goals. However, I also aim to provide you with tips / tricks / tools to utilize in the future. After all, my hope is for you to leave each session and complete your nutrition counseling journey feeling empowered, knowledgeable, and ready to take on other nutrition-related obstacles that may come your way.

Your first session with Kellie

My first goal is to get to know you--daily routine / typical schedule, eating patterns, dietary preferences, pertinent medical history, nutrition-related challenges, priorities, hobbies / interests, etc. We will discuss any initial questions / concerns that you may have and outline your main goals. Ultimately, the first session serves as a time to develop a strong foundation for the rest of our journey together!
