About Lauren
Hi! Iām Lauren ā a registered dietitian, working mom, and self-proclaimed picky eater who totally gets that nutrition advice can sometimes feel out of touch. I didnāt grow up with a fridge full of options or a pantry stocked for fun. I grew up in a family with limited resources, and that experience shaped everything about how I approach nutrition today. For the past 10 years, Iāve had the privilege of working with individuals and families navigating tight budgets, busy schedules, and big challenges. Whether itās figuring out how to make $40 stretch for the week or finding a version of āhealthyā that actually works in real life, Iām here for it ā and for you.
Approach to care
My approach is simple: meet you where you are, not where you āshouldā be. Iām not here to hand out a perfect meal plan or tell you to swap everything for quinoa (unless you like quinoa ā in which case, carry on). Instead, I focus on realistic, doable changes that fit your life, your preferences, and your budget. Whether weāre talking blood sugar, emotional eating, or just figuring out how to feed yourself without losing your mind, Iāll help you find solutions that feel good and make sense long-term. No shame. No food rules. Just support, strategy, and maybe a few laughs along the way.
Your first session with Lauren
Our first session is all about you. I want to hear your story ā whatās working, whatās not, and whatās getting in the way. Weāll explore and identify your goals and start building a plan that feels manageable and right for your life. You donāt need to prepare anything ahead of time, and you definitely donāt need to impress me. Come as you are ā whether thatās overwhelmed, motivated, skeptical, or just tired. Iāve been there too, and I promise weāll take it one step at a time.

Hobbies
I donāt always have time for hobbies, but boy do I have a list of ones I would like to try! Taking care of myself takes up most of my energy some days ā and thatās okay. Shout out to my fellow neurodivergent folks trying to find balance in the chaos. My tried and true hobbies are: thrifting/shopping clearance, dreaming up new business ideas, and getting lost in a good spreadsheet. When things are quiet (which is rare), I like binge-watching shows and spending time outside, usually laying in the sun pretending Iām a plant photosynthesizing.
