About Leah

Hi, I'm Leah. I'm a Registered Dietitian with 20 years of experience, and I earned my BS in Dietetics from Eastern Michigan University. My clinical and hospital work has shown me how food connects with health in real life, and I enjoy getting to know patients beyond the numbers. I specialize in weight loss—whether or not you're using weight loss medication—body recomposition, behavior change, diabetes, and heart health. My approach is motivational, practical, and evidence-based because I know adjustments - large or small - can have a big impact on your health.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is grounded in current research to guide our plan, while always meeting you with empathy and warmth. I’m direct and action oriented, helping you translate insights into doable steps. I focus on behaviors that support general health and well being, while following your lead for weight loss goals in a safe manner. We’ll work together to build lasting habits, supported by science and realistic goals.

Your first session with Leah

Our first appointment is about you. We'll review your medical history and how food and movement fit into your daily life, and we’ll talk about your goals, worries, and what success looks like for you. You don’t need to have it all figured out—just show up as you are. It’s a great opportunity to create a plan that fits your lifestyle.
