About Lauren

As a registered dietitian, I’m passionate about helping individuals build a positive relationship with food and develop sustainable habits that support long-term health. Outside of work, you’ll often find me exploring hiking trails, spending time with my dog, or tending to my small flock of backyard chickens. These moments in nature keep me grounded and remind me of the connection between food, wellness, and the environment.

Approach to care

My approach to nutrition counseling emphasizes balance, mindfulness, and practical strategies tailored to your unique lifestyle. I believe making healthy changes is a continuous journey, not a destination. There may be challenges along the way, but that’s why I’m here—to guide and support you through every step and help you overcome any roadblocks you encounter.

Your first session with Lauren

Your first nutrition counseling session is all about getting to know you! We’ll start by discussing your goals, health history, daily routine, and current eating habits. This helps me understand the full picture of your lifestyle and create a plan that’s realistic, supportive, and personalized to your needs. During this visit, you can expect: A relaxed, judgment-free conversation about your health and nutrition goals. Review of your medical history, eating patterns, and daily habits to identify what’s working and where changes might help. Clear, practical guidance you can start using right away — no strict rules or fad diets. Collaborative goal setting, so your plan fits your preferences, schedule, and motivation level. By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with an initial action plan and a better understanding of how we’ll work together to reach your goals over time. Follow-up sessions focus on progress, adjustments, and continued support to help you stay on track.
