About Laurin
Hello! I'm Laurin, a Registered Dietitian based in Gulfport, Mississippi. I bring four years of experience and hold an MS in Nutrition and Food Systems with Dietetic Practice, plus an MEd and LD. My work has spanned clinical and hospital settings, weight loss and bariatric nutrition, kidney nutrition, long-term care, outpatient care, and pediatrics. I'm committed to translating science into practical, sustainable plans and to meeting you where you are on your health journey. I value warmth, curiosity, and collaboration in every session.
Approach to care
My care philosophy centers on partnership and lifelong change. I ground my approach in current evidence and proven strategies, and I explain the why behind recommendations so you feel confident. I practice with empathy and warmth, meeting you without judgment and helping you feel seen. I emphasize Health At Every Size and a weight-neutral, behavior-focused framework, while addressing the whole person, including nutrition, sleep, stress, and daily routines. Together we build knowledge, skills, and sustainable habits that fit your life.
Your first session with Laurin
Our first appointment is all about you. We'll review your medical history and any recent lab work or biometrics, set short-term goals, and start a deep dive into your relationship with food. We'll craft a personalized plan that includes practical meal ideas and realistic steps for the next weeks. This is a low-pressure, collaborative conversation, and you don't need to have everything figured out before we start. We'll talk openly, answer your questions, and tailor the next steps to your pace and priorities.
