Lisa Shkoda

About Lisa

I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over a decade of experience. My background includes supporting individuals across the lifespan (from childhood to older adulthood) through complex medical conditions, as well as those navigating everyday nutrition concerns.

Approach to care

My approach is rooted in listening to your story and co-creating a plan that feels realistic, supportive, and sustainable for your life. Whether you’re navigating a medical condition, healing your relationship with food, or simply seeking balance, I’m here to support you with compassion, evidence-based guidance, and a deep respect for your lived experience. I emphasize balanced nutrition, not restriction, helping you to tune into your body’s cues, break free from all-or-nothing thinking, and find peace with food.

Your first session with Lisa

We’ll talk about your goals, health history, eating patterns, and what’s been working and not working for you. It’s a judgment free zone. It’s your time and you can let me know what type of support feels most helpful. We’ll set a few realistic, personalized goals you can start working on right away. My aim is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and empowered to take the next step toward your health and wellness.
