About Kristen

Balancing a busy household of four kids with a career in nutrition taught me more about real-life eating than any textbook. With 15 years as a registered and licensed dietitian and an MS in Nutrition from Georgia State University, I’ve worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, corporate wellness, research, schools, and private practice. Based in Soldotna, Alaska, I enjoy skiing, camping, hiking, cheering on the sidelines for my kids activities, cooking to new music, reading with a cup of coffee, and spending time with my family. As a mom who has navigated many ups and downs, I bring compassion and practical skills so we can create lasting habits together.

Approach to care

Evidence guides what I recommend, compassion shapes how I support you. I ground recommendations in current science, then turn those ideas into clear, practical steps that fit your life. I work in a weight-neutral way, focusing on sustainable behaviors instead of quick fixes or diet rules. I’m warm and nonjudgmental, direct when it helps, and focused on teaching you skills so you can make informed choices. Together we'll address the whole person, not just food, building realistic strategies that last.

Your first session with Kristen

The first visit is a low-pressure conversation where we'll review your medical history and any labs or biometrics you bring, and I will help interpret results. We'll explore what has and hasn't worked for you, identify short-term, realistic goals, and begin a flexible framework for a meal plan. You don’t need to have everything figured out, we'll break things into manageable steps and leave with practical next actions so you feel supported and confident moving forward.
