About Kristin

Kristin is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Lactation Counselor passionate about optimizing nutrition throughout the lifecycle. Kristin received her nutrition education at Simmons University’s School of Nursing and Health Sciences and completed her Dietetic Internship at Massachusetts General Hospital. Kristin works with any and all clients interested in optimizing their health by listening to preferences, understanding specific needs, and making tailored recommendations guided by evidence-based research.

Approach to care

My approach to care is grounded in the Health at Every Size (HAES) framework, which focuses on body respect, inclusive health practices, and mindful nutrition. I empower individuals to develop a positive relationship with their bodies, free from the pressures of dieting and weight-based health judgments. By promoting behaviors like intuitive eating and physical activity for pleasure, I support clients in improving their overall well-being, regardless of their body size. My goal is to help people embrace self-compassion, foster sustainable health habits, and achieve long-term wellness.

Your first session with Kristin

We spend the first session really getting to know each other. Because nutrition and wellness are so personal, it's important that you feel comfortable with me and we can establish a good rapport. I'll also set expectations about what our course of working together will look like, I'll do a brief education based on where you may be in your nutrition knowledge journey, and we'll start to outline goals.
