About Laura
Hi, I’m Laura, and I would love to be your dietitian! We’ll make eating a positive, flexible experience that you or your child can approach with joy and confidence. If you’re looking for support maintaining your nutrition during/after pregnancy, seeking guidance raising kids to be confident eaters, searching for help to get your IBS symptoms under control, or you simply want some guidance from a dietitian on eating for long-term health and wellness, let’s talk! No matter what we focus on, know that we’ll always form practices that are simple, enjoyable, and tailored 100% to you. ¿Hablas español? ¡Yo también!

Approach to care
Think of me as your co-captain. You’re in the driver’s seat as the expert on your unique context, and I’ll be by your side to offer whatever direction you need to navigate your health. We'll focus on building up habits that are sustainable, flexible, and suitable to your unique goals. I practice a weight-neutral approach to care, so we'll let your symptoms and goals guide our sessions--not the scale. For IBS management: I've completed FODMAP training with Monash University, and as an IBS patient myself, I know finding the right approach can be tricky. My goal is that we can get you back to feeling your best with holistic symptom management that prioritizes your personal preferences.
Your first session with Laura
We’ll start by gathering information about you and what you hope to accomplish by working with a dietitian, then we’ll work together to determine next steps that align with your goals, and we’ll follow up regularly to celebrate progress and trouble-shoot challenges as needed.
