About Leslie
Hi! I'm Leslie Schmille, a registered dietitian with over 9 years of experience. I believe food is meant to be fun and enjoyed. My career has been dedicated to empowering individuals and families to nourish their bodies, build sustainable habits, and cultivate a positive relationship with food. I have a passion for budget-friendly food shopping, meal planning, and creating simple, delicious meals. I love sharing my expertise to help simplify eating and take the stress out of mealtime.
Approach to care
My approach combines evidence-based nutrition strategies with a compassionate, non-judgmental mindset. True wellness comes from listening to your body, honoring its needs, and rejecting restrictive diet culture. I embrace a non-diet philosophy that supports individuals in nourishing themselves and their families without guilt or shame. Nutrition is deeply personal, and thereâs no one-size-fits-all solution. My practice creates individualized plans respecting each personâs unique needs, goals, and lifestyle. Whether youâre managing a chronic condition, navigating parenthood, or seeking balance, weâll develop practical strategies to help you thrive and embrace the joy of eating.
Your first session with Leslie
In your first session, my top priority is to get to know you and your health goals. I want to understand your unique storyâyour dietary habits, lifestyle, stressors, and, most importantly, your motivation for making changes. This helps ensure that the goals we set are tailored to your needs and fit realistically into your daily life. By the end of our session, youâll walk away with a clear action plan, featuring manageable steps to kickstart your journey. My collaborative approach ensures you feel supported and confident as you take the first steps toward better health!
