About Laura
Hi! I'm Laura and I'm a registered dietitian living in Austin, TX with my two Australian Shepherds. I have about eight years of experience working in the supplement/functional medicine arena where I helped to educate healthcare practitioners and their clients on the safe and effective use of vitamins, minerals, and herbs. While I'm passionate about nutritional supplementation, I'm excited to be at Nourish to help you implement lifestyle changes to feel your best and to live life to its fullest! I understand how challenging the first step toward a healthier life can be, but once you feel the positive effects, that momentum can snowball into new habits and a more empowered way of living :)
Approach to care
My goal is to support you in making healthy lifestyle changes in a way that truly fits your life- never forced or controlled. I want to help you build healthy habits at your pace that will lead to sustainable change. You are in the driver's seat and I'm here to guide you by simplifying the tough stuff and helping to create feasible action items. My hope is that every session leaves you feeling calm, confident, and ready to move forward.
Your first session with Laura
I really want to get to know you, so I'll ask questions about your typical daily and weekly life such as sleep, work, hobbies, and eating habits. I will also want to understand what your longterm goals are for your health and any barriers that might cause you to struggle. We will then work together to create practical short term goals that will be tracked between sessions and reviewed when we meet again.
