Kelly Perkinson

About Kelly

I enjoy finding alternatives to the every day life that may make activities healthier and more sustainable. I have an extensive background in healthcare including nursing school (not for me!!!), public health and nutrition and dietetics with a focus on research. I work hard to ensure patients needs are met each session and what we can do to make sure follow up sessions continue to be successful.

Approach to care

My approach to care includes patient focused sessions and a heavy focus of Health At Every Size (HAES). I prefer to meet patients where they are to make small changes in their day to day life to make changes in long term health outcomes. I am flexible in my ability to meet patients with whatever needs they have and enjoy a challenge.

Your first session with Kelly

Patients can be assured that in any session, they will receive my full, undivided attention, listening ear and expectations about what you expect in a provider and where I can meet you to be successful in our sessions to follow. I am happy to answer any questions about apprehension or difficulties in nutrition on the daily and we can tailor a plan to work through it to ensure success.
