About Leigh Ann

Hi, I’m Leigh Ann, a Registered Dietitian with 16 years of experience based in Birmingham, Alabama. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Family & Consumer Sciences with a Dietetics concentration and a Biology minor from The University of Montevallo in 2009, completed my Dietetic Internship at UAB in 2011, and earned an MS in Clinical Nutrition from UAB in 2011. I’ve worked in clinical settings, corporate wellness, community health, and private practice, which helps me translate science into practical plans. My credentials include an MS, LDN, and RDN. Outside of work, I love time with my husband and three kids, Peloton, running, trying new restaurants, and weekends by the lake or at the beach.

Approach to care

Care philosophy: I practice evidence-based, science-focused care with warmth. I meet you where you are and walk beside you, not telling you what to do but co-creating a plan that fits your life. My credentials, including an MS, LDN, and RDN, ground my practice and remind me that empathy and partnership drive lasting change. I trust Health At Every Size principles and emphasize sustainable habits, not restrictive diets. My approach is holistic, addressing food choices, sleep, stress, and mindset, while providing education so you can make informed decisions long after our sessions. Together, we build lasting change.

Your first session with Leigh Ann

Our first appointment is a calm, collaborative conversation. We'll review your medical history, current eating patterns, and daily routines, and we'll establish short-term goals tailored to you. There is no judgment here; we want to understand what matters most to you and how we can support it. No need to have it all figured out — just show up as you are, and we'll map out a few practical steps you can begin implementing right away. You and your goals matter, and I’m here to walk with you toward sustainable changes.
