Liz Evenson

About Liz

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Dietetics from Olivet Nazarene University and a Master’s in Nutrition Science from Kent State University, providing a strong foundation for my work as a Registered Dietitian and Certified Lactation Counselor. I specialize in pediatric nutrition, tube feeding, and pediatric feeding disorders. I work with children with a variety of medical conditions including Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and Autism. My goal is to make nutrition approachable—whether managing growth concerns, infant nutrition guidance, picky eating, tube weaning, or overall health. I also support mothers in reaching breastfeeding goals with compassionate, personalized guidance. Beyond pediatrics, I help adults manage conditions like heart disease and weight concerns through sustainable, realistic interventions. At the heart of my work is a commitment to empowering individuals and families to feel confident and supported.

Approach to care

My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel supported and motivated to improve your health in ways that are sustainable and meaningful. I emphasize intuitive eating and weight-neutral principles, helping you and your family build a positive relationship with food while focusing on overall well-being. When working with children and families, my goal is not only to improve your child’s nutritional status but also to reduce stress around mealtimes and foster positive, enjoyable experiences with food. For pre- and postpartum mothers, I aim to ensure you feel nourished, confident, and cared for during one of life’s most challenging—and rewarding—chapters.

Your first session with Liz

In our first sessions, we will get to know each other, discover what your goals and expectations are, and begin discussing a plan to reach those goals that are personalized. I will complete a full assessment in order to guide our session and my interventions. Follow-up sessions will involve monitoring, reviewing progress, refining goals, and discussing new goals. Throughout the process, I’ll be here to provide guidance, motivation, and practical solutions to overcome challenges—ensuring you and your family have the support needed for lasting success.

Hobbies

I love spending quality time with my husband, daughter, and friends by exploring new local spots and discovering unique restaurants. I always enjoy having a trip planned and traveling internationally—it gives me something exciting to look forward to. In my free time, I listen to audiobooks, go for runs to stay active, and unwind with a glass of wine over a great dinner.
