About Kelsi

Hi, I'm Kelsi. I earned my Bachelor's in Food and Nutrition from Eastern Kentucky University, then an MS in Dietetics and the completion of a 1000+ hour dietetic internship from Marshall University. I practice as a Registered Dietitian with one year of clinical experience in a hospital setting, and I carry the postnominals MS, LD, RD. My training helps me translate nutrition science into real, doable daily choices. I value curiosity, collaboration, and lifelong learning as I support your health goals.

Approach to care

To me, care is collaboration rooted in science and compassion. My approach is evidence-based and HAES aligned, focusing on what works for you in your life. We'll translate research into practical steps, set clear actions, and track what matters most to your well being. I aim to be warm and nonjudgmental, helping you feel seen and supported as you build sustainable habits. Education is central, so you leave each visit with knowledge you can apply confidently.

Your first session with Kelsi

Our first appointment is all about you. We'll create a judgment-free space where you can share your medical history, lab work and biometrics, routines, and relationship with food. We'll establish short-term goals and discuss how nutrition fits into your life, without pressure to have everything figured out beforehand. You can expect a collaborative conversation where we review what has and hasn't worked in the past and outline a couple realistic steps to start with. I look forward to meeting you and taking the next steps together.
