Laurie Rendall

About Laurie

Hello, my name is Laurie! I am a registered dietitian with over 27 years of experience practicing in California. I have extensive background in managing chronic conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, and gastrointestinal disorders. I also specialize in women’s health, weight management (both weight gain and weight loss), and personalized healthy lifestyle planning. I am passionate about supporting patients through tailored nutrition guidance and treatment regimens that help improve their overall health and well-being. I understand that every person’s journey with food and health is unique, and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are. My goal is to create a welcoming, supportive space where you feel heard, encouraged, and empowered. I look forward to partnering with you and helping you build a healthier, more confident life.

Approach to care

My approach is rooted in motivational interviewing and true collaboration. I begin with a comprehensive assessment and work with each client to create personalized, realistic goals. Together, we focus on developing long-term solutions while celebrating meaningful short-term progress to support sustainable lifestyle change. You’re never expected to overhaul your entire diet or daily routine to see results. Instead, we’ll concentrate on small, manageable changes that feel good, fit your life, and create a lasting positive impact on your health. I’m here to support, guide, and empower you every step of the way.

Your first session with Laurie

During your first session, you can expect practical, easy-to-apply nutrition guidance, collaborative goal setting, and a supportive space where you’re truly heard. The initial assessment will explore a “day in your life,” including eating patterns, dietary recall, habits, challenges, and any barriers that may impact your goals. We’ll also discuss the timeline of sessions and what to expect as we move forward. Most importantly, I want to understand what you hope to gain from our work together. My goal is to ensure that every session provides meaningful value and supports your investment in your health and nutrition journey.
