About Kristen
Hi, I’m Kristen, a Registered Dietitian with a desire for helping people build realistic, nourishing habits that stick. I was drawn to the field of nutrition both by my desire to help others and my own diagnosis of celiac disease over 15 years ago (and yes, I've tried all the bad products so you can save your money!). Living with a chronic condition gave me first-hand insight into how powerful, but sometimes overwhelming, nutrition changes can be. It is so much easier when you have the right support. I’m a parent to two young kids, so I know the daily challenges of feeding a family, navigating picky eating, and managing toddler appetites that change by the minute. Whether you're managing a health condition, feeding your family, or just trying to feel better in your own skin, I’m here to help you find what works for you.
Approach to care
My approach is practical, supportive, and rooted in real life- because I’m living it, too! There should be no guilt because no one is perfect and my goal is to provide sustainable support that meets you where you are at. I hope to always help you towards my tagline of- Be happy. Be healthy. But most of all, be you.
Your first session with Kristen
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and talk about what brought you here. Whether it’s a specific health concern, a goal you’re working toward, or just trying to make food feel less stressful I am here to listen. I’ll ask about your health history, daily routines, food preferences, and any challenges you're facing. This is a no-judgment space, and there’s no pressure to have it all figured out. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and with a realistic plan to get started.
