“Lea has helped me to find areas in my diet to improve. She has always given me lots of tools to be successful in my daily nutrition journey. Her supportive nature is what I like best. Thank you nourish team! “

“Lea is exceptional, and I am incredibly grateful to have found her. I was recently diagnosed with IBD, and was told by my doctor to simply “follow a Mediterranean diet”. I knew that I needed more guidance, and am so thankful that Nourish led me to Lea. She is a caring, thoughful, prepared, and extremely competent practitioner and I credit her with helping me navigate one of the most challenging times of my life. She is an amazing provider! “

“Lea is a fantastic nutritionist and she's been a great help for me on my journey to taking better care of myself. I work 50+ hours a week in an office, and I built up many bad habits over the years. She helped me with so many tools and tips and in a short time I've made big changes in my diet, exercise, and mental health. I'm so grateful for her positive attitude and for her cheering me on as I hit my milestones!“

About Lea
Welcome! As a registered dietitian, I believe that everyone deserves a healthy and joyful relationship with food. I am committed to creating a safe, non judgmental space for you to explore your nutritional needs and goals. I have experience working with a wide variety of patient populations through inpatient care, outpatient care, and home visits. Some of my favorite things to do include scouting new and interesting finds at the grocery and preparing balanced meals for my family.
Approach to care
My approach to care is client-centered, and evidence based. I take the time to listen to your unique story, concerns and goals. Together, we will develop a personalized plan that addresses your nutritional needs, lifestyle, and preferences. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to make informed choices about your health.
Your first session with Lea
In our initial consultation, we will take the time to get to know each other better and discuss your health goals, dietary concerns, and lifestyle. We will start with a comprehensive health and nutrition assessment, identify your unique goals, talk about what has or has not worked for you in the past, create short term and long term goals, and develop a personalized plan that works with your lifestyle to reach your goals.
