About Lauren

Hi, I'm Lauren! Thanks for stopping by my little corner of Nourish! I’m a registered dietitian with over 10 years of experience, and I received my education and training from Mississippi State University. I’ve spent the majority of my career in the outpatient and community settings. Throughout my career, I’ve worked alongside patients, guiding them to make healthier nutrition choices and building lasting, sustainable lifestyle changes for better health. I’m grateful for every patient I get to work with and the opportunity to walk alongside them on their journey to better health! I bring my CSP, LD, and RD credentials into practice along with a commitment to lifelong learning to bring my best knowledge to each patient session.

Approach to care

I take a patient-centered, balanced approach to nutrition. I welcome each patient with warmth and without judgment. Together, we find practical steps that fit your life, values, and goals. We will work together to set realistic goals, track progress, and tailor your goals as needed along the way, always focusing on long term habits instead of quick fixes. I believe in finding ways to incorporate foods you love and enjoy into a healthy diet and balanced lifestyle. I feel the key is in moderation and movement, not restrictions. We will focus on what works for you, and will set realistic, attainable goals that are tailored to you and your lifestyle. I will be available to provide education and support as often as you need, so you don’t have to work at this alone! I will be there guiding you each step of the way!

Your first session with Lauren

Our first session is an invitation to get to know you and your story. We will review and discuss your medical history, medications, and any labs that are relevant. We will discuss what health and nutrition goals feel right for you and your lifestyle. No need to try to have everything figured out beforehand! We will work together to identify at least 1-2 short term goals that you feel are attainable going forward. You can expect a supportive, engaged conversation where you feel heard, your questions are welcomed, and we get started shaping a plan together for your future from where you are starting at today. I can’t wait for us to chat!
