Leigh Westcott

About Leigh

With over a decade of experience in food and nutrition, I am a dietitian who craves to help better the lives of my clients through balanced, flavorful meals in a judgement free environment. My goal is to help people live longer, healthier lives so that they can spend more time with friends and family and less time being burdened by health conditions. My career spans from clinical nutrition, food service management, counseling, and I hold a certificate in training in obesity for pediatrics and adults. Outside of work, I am a wife and a mother of two children and one fur baby; who understands that today's environment is very busy. Together we will work to design a realistic, individualized plan that supports your lifestyle.

Approach to care

My approach to care can be described as "I work for you. You do not work for me." Our sessions will be all about guiding you along your health journey to long term success. I recognize that nutrition is not "one size fits all" and you will be treated as an individual who has their own lifestyle, experiences, and culture. I will be a cheerleader for your health and happiness!

Your first session with Leigh

In our first session you can expect to discuss your past medical history, history with attempted dietary changes, meal and snack patterns, goals, and challenges that you have experienced. This information helps me provide a more personalized experience so that your nutrition plan can be tailored to you. You will have plenty of time to ask questions and I will help strategize how to overcome any potential barriers that you may encounter. Lastly, we will discuss your plan for follow-up visits and continued success.
