Patient reviews

“This woman is absolutely amazing! Not only will she help you with your food journey she will also help feed the rest of life. I have never met anyone that made me feel so comfortable and seen in my own issues. There is no shame or feeling like you’re doing something wrong. She will hold you accountable while still comforting you. I also would like to point out if you’re looking for someone to give you solutions and tools Leah is your person! She is definitely nourishing in all aspects! “

“I’m extremely grateful I found Leah. I’ve struggled with disordered eating, gut health, and nutrition for many years, and she has consistently held space for me with compassion, even during emotional, vulnerable moments. Leah listens deeply, is incredibly thorough in her feedback, and approaches care with a true understanding of the gut–brain connection. Her support goes far beyond surface level nutrition, and working with her has had a meaningful, positive impact on my overall health. “

About Leah

Hi, I’m Leah — a registered dietitian who helps sensitive, overwhelmed, or exhausted individuals rebuild a calmer and more confident relationship with food. Many patients come to me feeling frustrated by digestive issues, sensory overload, irregular eating, or chronic stress. We work together to make nutrition feel steadier and more supportive, especially if you feel everything deeply or have struggled to “figure out food” on your own. I specialize in IBS, bloating, constipation, neurodivergent-friendly nutrition, ARFID-like patterns, POTS, hormonal health, PCOS, and fertility. My approach is warm, validating, and structured, blending evidence-based guidance with realistic steps that truly fit your life.

Approach to care

My approach is calm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. 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

Your 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 see meaningful changes together.

Hobbies

Outside of work, I’m enjoying a season of settling and rooting after a period of travel. I love spending time in walkable neighborhoods, exploring local green spaces, and lingering in quiet cafés or independent bookstores. I’m deeply nourished by art, music, and meaningful conversation, and I’m currently in a creative season of writing regularly, recording my podcast, and cultivating community spaces that support sensitive and neurodivergent folks through my business The Nourished Sensitive. Time in nature, gentle rhythms, and simple daily rituals help keep me grounded and bring clarity, presence, and warmth to my work with patients and in the communities I serve.
