Patient reviews
“There is absolutely no way I could have been successful on my weight loss journey without Laura’s guidance! I have referred her to many friends and family members. Her knowledge and professionalism are outstanding! Not to mention her patience. Laura always made me feel supported and capable of making life changes. I am down 42 pounds,even losing during the holidays! Her attention to my logs and my needs helped me reach what I thought were unattainable goals.Forever grateful to have met her!“

About Laura
Since becoming a registered dietitian 6 years ago, Laura has jumped right into private practice, counseling hundreds of patients on balanced nutrition principles, disordered eating recovery, intuitive and mindful eating, and fitness/performance nutrition. As a former athlete, Laura is particularly passionate about providing nutrition counseling for active individuals who may be struggling with eating disorders or emotional eating, and supporting women in optimizing their hormonal health, whether that's navigating a fertility journey, missing periods or managing PCOS.
Approach to care
When working with patients, Laura utilizes a holistic counseling style that focuses on sustainable behavior changes to enhance mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Working together, Laura guides patients to reach their health and fitness goals while improving their relationship with food. Laura empowers patients to build trust and connection with their body, make balanced, nourishing meals, cope with emotional eating, and navigate tough situations around food like traveling and eating out.
Your first session with Laura
We'll begin with a comprehensive initial assessment during which we'll discuss your goals and explore your medical history, as well as your current and past eating and exercise habits. We'll delve into your relationship with food throughout your life and consider lifestyle factors such as hydration, sleep and stress. Laura is passionate about providing individualized care, so it's essential for her to collect all relevant data. Following each session, you'll receive a recap that includes important notes from the day's call, along with a detailed outline of the steps to take and resources (handouts, exercises, etc.) to assist you as needed.
