About Kelly

Hi, my name is Kelly. I'm happy you're here! As a registered dietitian I'm dual certified in obesity and weight management and in pediatric nutrition, my passion lies in helping individuals of all ages achieve their health and wellness goals. I understand that each person is unique. I specialize in pediatric nutrition and work closely with children who need help with weight management, picky eating, or gaining weight. Together, we can create a positive relationship with food and help your child thrive. Let’s work together to create a plan that works for you!

Approach to care

I take a personalized approach to nutrition by tailoring plans to meet you where you are in your journey. I use evidence-based practices combined with real-world strategies to help clients make sustainable changes. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, create a balanced meal plan, or develop healthier eating habits, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way. My approach includes creating custom macros, intuitive eating strategies, and personalized meal plans designed to fit your lifestyle and goals.

Your first session with Kelly

During your first visit, we’ll take the time to get to know you and your unique needs. I’ll ask questions about your health history, current eating habits, lifestyle, and any specific goals you have. This will help me understand where you’re at and where you want to go. For those seeking weight loss or general nutrition guidance, we’ll discuss your dietary preferences, challenges, and past experiences with nutrition to build a plan that fits your lifestyle. If you’re looking for a meal plan, custom macros, or guidance on intuitive eating, we’ll discuss how to integrate these strategies in a way that feels achievable for you. For parents seeking support for their child, we’ll dive into their eating habits, growth patterns, and any challenges they may face, such as picky eating or needing to gain or lose weight. Together, we’ll set goals to help your child develop a healthy relationship with food and improve their overall well-being.
