Patient reviews
“I wish I could articulate my five star rating review as beautifully as Leah has articulated the guidance and support in my nutrition and wellness journey after three pregnancies (two of which were with twin pregnancies). She is a wonderful coach who listens so well and voices back what she hears to ensure she has heard correctly before instruction and goal-setting. Leah has taught and encoruaged me in BIG ways. I am so grateful to have found her and NOURISH to support me back to my body and mind“

“Leah has been wonderful so far and i’m really appreciative of her support. She has helped me with more than just meal ideas or protein shake suggestions which is what my prior experience has been. She truly listens and takes a proactive approach to supporting her patients. She helps me resolve the root issue of my struggles and meets me where i’m at. I am very thankful to have started Nourish and to be working with Leah. I am hopeful i will make good progress this year with her support! “

About Leah
You've tried all the diets, but traditional nutrition advice feels rigid or unsustainable for. Maybe you feel disconnected from your body and unsure what to trust anymore. Or, you're ready to stop dieting and want food to feel joyful again. I work with individuals who want to heal their relationship with food and their body while supporting their overall health and wellbeing. Many of my clients have experienced lifelong weight concerns, body image distress, digestive challenges, sensory overwhelm, irregular eating, and chronic stress that feels destructive to health and well-being. My approach is rooted in whole-person care. Instead of giving you another set of rules, we build sustainable, supportive, evidence-based practices that support digestion, metabolism, and nervous system regulation, while helping you rebuild trust in your body, enjoy food again, and support your long-term wellbeing without pressure.
Approach to care
My approach is calm, collaborative, and supportive. I don’t rely on strict rules or rigid plans. Instead, we focus on what feels manageable and supportive for you. You can expect gentle step-by-step guidance, trauma-sensitive and neurodivergent-aware care, evidence-based support for digestive and hormonal concerns, and a non-diet, weight-inclusive philosophy. I also integrate simple tools for nervous system regulation and mindful eating. My goal is for you to feel at ease in your body and confident in the habits we create together.
Your first session with Leah
Our first session is spacious and supportive. We’ll take time to understand your symptoms, daily rhythms, stressors, medical history, and what you want to feel in your body again. Together, we’ll explore your health and nutrition story, identify key challenges and patterns, review digestive, hormonal, or sensory symptoms, and create a personalized plan for the week ahead. We’ll also set gentle, attainable goals that feel realistic for your life. My intention is for you to finish with clarity, direction, and a sense of relief, knowing you don’t have to figure this out alone. Most patients meet with me weekly in the beginning so we can build momentum and take small steps that support change.

Hobbies
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in my community, exploring walkable neighborhoods, visiting green spaces, volunteering, and attending church. I’m originally from New Hampshire, but over the past several years I’ve traveled solo and with friends across the United States and to four countries, including France, Canada, the UK, and Costa Rica. Beyond my work as a dietitian, I write, podcast, and build community through my business, The Nourished Sensitive.
