About Kelsey

Struggling to figure out what to eat, tired of conflicting nutrition advice, or feeling stuck managing your health? I’m Kelsey, and I help people turn real, whole foods into practical, lasting habits that support health and fit into busy lives. With over 12 years in primary care, I have extensive experience with clients managing diabetes, prediabetes, heart health, weight concerns, and pregnancy, fertility, or postpartum nutrition. I focus on the labs and science but also the whole picture: sleep, stress, movement, gut health, and nutrient balance.

Approach to care

In our sessions, we’ll start by looking at what’s already working in your eating and lifestyle, then together create small, achievable changes that make a real difference. This might include simple meal ideas or food swaps, better ways to manage blood sugar with portions or combinations of foods, or routine suggestions that help you feel energized and balanced. I follow a Health at Every Size and intuitive eating approach, so there are no restrictive rules or judgment.

Your first session with Kelsey

You’ll leave each session with clarity, confidence, and tools you can use immediately to make real food personalized to your life. We’ll check in regularly to celebrate progress, troubleshoot challenges, and adjust your plan so that the habits you build last forever. My goal is to make nutrition approachable, realistic, and empowering—so you can feel healthier, stronger, and more confident in your choices.
