About Lauren
Lauren is an intuitive, trauma-informed, and down-to-earth dietitian with diverse experience across various RDN roles, including hospitals, cardiac rehab, and private practice. She specializes in intuitive eating, mindful nutrition, heart health, and balanced plant-based diets. While knowledgeable about vegan and vegetarian diets, she never expects her patients to adopt them; instead, she meets clients where they are, respecting their preferences. With five years of experience, Lauren focuses on cultivating a positive relationship with food and achieving eating competence, helping clients foster a healthier and more fulfilling relationship with food and overall well-being.
Approach to care
"When the joy goes out of eating, nutrition suffers." -Ellyn Satter | Navigating nutrition involves a dance of your body's processes & the psychology of food. Positive health changes address both the physical and emotional aspects. A healthy relationship with food goes beyond nutrient choices—it's about embracing emotions tied to eating, body image, & activity. Lauren's sessions take a holistic approach, shaping personalized nutrition plans for your needs. Rejecting the diet mindset, her aim is to empower you for lifelong well-being. Expect a nurturing space to repair these relationships, guiding you to where self-care becomes second nature.
