Patient reviews
“I’ve had 4 or so sessions with Lauren while 3-4months postpartum with my 2nd kid. She has truly helped me navigate healthy options, optimal nutrients to support nursing, steady weightloss, and logistical planning for household meal prep while on maternity leave and planning for when I am back to work. It’s been great working with her - she always has an interesting insight, resource, or tool that I hadn’t thought of. “

About Lauren
Hi! I'm Lauren. I have worked primarily with children, families, and prenatal/postpartum clients in a community nutrition setting. Currently, I run a nutrition program for low-income young families at a non-profit and provide cooking classes for adults with disabilities. As a mom of two young kiddos and four pets, and as a military spouse, I understand the chaos that comes with running a household and I love working with other parents and kids in this busy time of life. Whether you're experiencing kiddos with "picky eating", finding it hard for the family to eat healthy on a budget, nausea or lactation questions during pregnancy, we can find a solution!
Approach to care
My approach to care is non-judgmental, realistic, and individualized. Everyone's situation is so different. We will work together, at your pace, to make sustainable lifestyle changes that you are content with. I am in your corner and a friend in this process!
Your first session with Lauren
The first session is for us to chat about you and build a trusting foundation. We will discuss your lifestyle, things that are going well, areas you'd like to see improvements, and discuss short-term and long-term goals. You may feel excited, cautious, or unsure, which are all normal. We will move at your pace!
