About Kelly
Hi, I'm Kelly! I work as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. I specialize in weight inclusive nutrition counseling for those struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, chronic dieting, & body image issues. Working together will allow you to heal your relationship with food while creating more space and energy to start living a fulfilling and meaningful life.
Approach to care
My approach to nutrition is an “all foods fit,” weight inclusive perspective. Food should be easy and enjoyable. We’ll partner together to help you let go of food rules and redevelop trust in your body. This will allow you to feel empowered to make food choices that are best for you, at ease around food, accept your here & now body, and experience joyful movement. During our sessions, we won't focus on weight loss as a goal measure of success. Instead, I will support you in achieving your health goals through behavior change and self care. With this approach, you will find sustainable and lasting wellbeing that equips you with the tools needed for success.
Your first session with Kelly
During our first session, we'll spend time getting to know each other. I’ll offer space for you to share about your past and what has brought you to this place in your life. We’ll explore your medical history, disordered eating behaviors, relationship with exercise, and body image struggles providing a solid foundation for our work moving forward. I'll ask you to set goals for us to work toward, that will guide our future work together. Deciding to get the help you need can be a scary and difficult step, but finally having peace with food and your body is SO worth it! And I'm here to support you as you take those first few steps toward healing. I look forward to meeting you soon!
