About Laura

Hi, I’m Laura! I'm a Registered Dietitian with 14+ years of experience in helping people take control of their health. My passion for nutrition started with my own health struggles. After battling IBS and navigating gluten-free and low-FODMAP diets, I experienced firsthand how food can impact overall well-being. This fueled my desire to help others feel their best and improve their quality of life through simple, sustainable changes. I am passionate about helping people heal their relationship with food and I'm in the midst of becoming a Certified Intuitive Eater Counselor. My other passions include plant based eating, endurance nutrition (former Ironman athlete), chronic disease, and picky eaters. My mission is to simplify nutrition and help you thrive—one step at a time!

Approach to care

I take a personalized approach to nutrition—listening first, building trust, and creating a plan that works for you. This may include customized meal plans, goal-setting, and strategies to build a healthier mindset around food. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. I’ll guide, encourage, and support you with realistic goals and ongoing accountability. You don’t have to cut out foods you love—I’ll help you enjoy them in a way that aligns with your goals for lasting, healthy change

Your first session with Laura

Together we will review your goals, what strategies you have tried and are doing. From there, we’ll create a personalized, realistic plan that fits your lifestyle—focusing on nutrition, movement, sleep, and overall well-being. I take an evidence-based approach to help you cut through nutrition confusion and build lasting habits.
