Leah Barron

About Leah

I have been a Registered Dietitian for 13 years, and during that time have provided care in a variety of settings including general adult nutrition, oncology, pediatric gastroenterology, and most recently in weight inclusive nutrition counseling. I am also a certified personal trainer and specialize in body neutral strength training. My own personal experience with disordered eating and body dysmorphia led me to change the way that I practice as a Dietitian, and I am dedicated to helping those I work with become confident in the way they care for their body.

Approach to care

I believe that health goes far beyond our physical appearance. My non-diet approach to nutrition is focused on increasing confidence and improving quality of life through nutrition education that is rooted in compassion and science. I believe in meeting each individual where they are, and creating goals and plans that are sustainable long term. I want to help you build the healthiest, happiest life you can imagine!

Your first session with Leah

Our first session will be spent getting to know each other, and completing an in depth nutrition assessment. From there, we will discuss your goals and create some actionable steps to help you get started. You can expect a safe and welcoming environment where you can share openly and honestly. I want you to feel like you are talking to a friend who just happens to be a Dietitian!
