About Lauren
Being a dietitian has helped me discover my love to encourage others to be their best selves and motivate them to make simple, maintainable changes to improve their overall health. I have a background in exercise physiology and personal training coursework, and I also teach an online nutrition course at a university. Experienced in individual and group counseling, helping others make behavioral changes, developing menus, educating students and collegiate athletes on health topics, leading grocery store tours and cooking classes, and creating food demonstration videos. I love being around people and helping them to improve their relationship with food. I believe this relationship is a journey and wonโt be perfect, but it should be a joyful one!
Approach to care
I believe in starting with making small goals to improve confidence. This also helps to keep motivation high along the journey. It is easy to bite off more than you can chew (dietitian pun lol) and get discouraged. I'd love for you to make changes that last a lifetime.
Your first session with Lauren
The first session will be more of a consultation or a "getting to know you session" where we discuss your goals- short term and long term- for health, nutrition, exercise, sleep, hydration, and anything else you desire to work on. That will then help us determine where to start- for example: meal planning, improving sleep, drinking more water, walking, exercising, or nutrition education and portion control.
