About Laurie

Laurie is a Registered Dietitian with three years of experience providing comprehensive nutrition care. She has supported clients with a wide range of concerns, including weight management, bariatric surgery support, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal conditions, and more. Her clinical background spans diverse settings such as hospitals, outpatient nutrition clinics, and a bariatric surgical center, where she has delivered evidence-based, patient-centered nutrition guidance.

Approach to care

Laurie believes that effective nutrition is never one-size-fits-all. She collaborates closely with each client to identify individualized strategies that align with their lifestyle, support sustainable habits, and promote long-term success. Her approach to nutrition and health focuses on incorporating real, whole foods to achieve optimal results.

Your first session with Laurie

The goal of the initial session is to build rapport and gain an understanding of your needs. I will ask about your lifestyle, medical and nutrition history, current eating and exercise patterns, and your goals for working with a dietitian. We will work together to produce personalized, actionable strategies that you can begin implementing to help you make meaningful progress toward your goals.
