About Kinsley

Hi, I’m Kinsley, a Registered Dietitian in Austin, Texas. With 4 years of experience, I've had the privilege of working in the clinical setting specializing in women’s health and treating conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) as well as working with athletes for sports nutrition. I believe that food is more than just fuel and has social, cultural, emotional, and biological influences that can impact our overall health in powerful ways. I'm passionate about nutrition and health, and I love helping individuals accomplish their nutrition goals while learning to better meet their body's specific needs. Outside work I love cooking, hiking, lifting weights, playing pickleball, or enjoying time outdoors.

Approach to care

My approach is rooted in evidence-based techniques and combines the application of holistic health practices. Grounded in current research, I translate science into clear, practical actions we'll try together. My holistic health perspective considers the body system as a whole, focusing on behavior and wellbeing rather than quick fixes. Together we'll set realistic, measurable steps and build sustainable habits while I teach you the skills to make informed choices that can improve long term health.

Your first session with Kinsley

Expect a relaxed conversation where I can get to know you better. We'll review your medical history, get to know your routines, preferences, and gain understanding about your specific health and nutrition goals. We'll talk about what has worked, what feels hard, and then establish one or two short-term, manageable objectives you feel comfortable trying. This is a judgment-free, low-pressure space, where you don't need to have everything figured out yet. We'll leave with clear next steps and a plan to adjust them together as you progress.
