About Kyrah
Hi, I'm Kyrah. I bring 20+ years of experience as a Registered Dietitian with an MS in Functional Nutrition from Parker University. I’ve worked in clinical and hospital settings, private practice, and community health, and I currently serve clients in Chicagoland, Illinois. I hold the credentials MS, RDN, and LDN, and I believe in turning theory into practice every day. In my downtime I love cooking and baking, couponing, putting together jigsaw puzzles, and exploring thinking games. I also enjoy attending liberal arts performances. My passion is helping people develop a positive love relationship with food, grounded in education, warmth, and HAES inspired care.
Approach to care
As we work together, I base care on evidence and empathy. I stay grounded in current science to guide our plan, while always meeting you with warmth and nonjudgmental listening. I am direct about what to try next, offering clear actions, practical steps, and accountability that fit your life. I practice through a HAES lens, focusing on behaviors and sustainable habits rather than dieting culture or quick fixes. The approach is holistic, honoring your mental, emotional, and physical health and recognizing that you are more than a diet. Education is woven throughout so you feel confident making informed choices long after our sessions end.
Your first session with Kyrah
Our first appointment is all about you. We'll review your medical history and current health, dive into your relationship with food, and explore daily routines, stressors, and goals. This is a judgment-free, low-pressure conversation where you don’t need to have everything figured out yet. We'll work together to identify a couple of realistic short-term goals and a practical plan that fits your life in Illinois. You’ll leave with a sense of direction and support, ready to take the next steps together.
