Lynne Harris

About Lynne

Over three decades in nutrition has taught me that practical habits beat perfection. I bring 30+ years as an RD and LDN, with a BS in Dietetics from the University of Maryland and an MS in Nutrition from Virginia Tech. My work has spanned clinical hospital settings, dialysis facilities, private practice, corporate wellness, and community health, so we'll draw from both clinical rigor and real-world solutions. Based in Trappe, Maryland, I love cooking, yoga, gardening, and time with my cats and dogs. I'm committed to meeting you where you are and helping improve your relationship with food.

Approach to care

Food and health deserve an evidence-based, compassionate lens. I combine current research with clear, practical steps we'll try together, prioritizing sustainable habits over quick fixes. My work is grounded in Health At Every Size principles, keeping goals weight-neutral and behavior-focused while honoring emotional and lifestyle contexts. I aim to educate and empower you, offering direct, actionable strategies in a warm, nonjudgmental space so change feels achievable and long lasting.

Your first session with Lynne

Think of the first visit as a relaxed, judgment-free conversation. We'll review your medical history and take a deep dive into your relationship with food, including what has worked and what feels stuck. I want to understand your daily routines, stresses, and supports so we can set one or two short-term, actionable goals together. You don't need to have it all figured out before our appointment, we'll move at a pace that feels right for you.
