Martha Laret

About Martha

I’ve been practicing as a holistic minded, non-diet/ HAES RD For 10+ years! I spent 8 1/2 years working at the PHP/IOP/OP levels of care in eating disorder/disordered eating recovery. I KNOW whole-heartedly that full recovery is possible! Aside helping you heal your food and body relationships, I love to support women with PCOS, insulin resistance, and perinatal nutrition. My goal is to help you feel cool, calm, and confident in approaching your health in a world with way too much (and contradictory) nutritional information + emphasis on weight! I’ve served as Dietary Director at an OP ED treatment center + served as preceptor for UAB’s Dietetic Internship program!

Approach to care

Aside providing a faith-based approach for those who prefer it, I blend functional/integrative nutrition practices with nutrition counseling, intuitive eating, mindfulness, and body image resiliency work to get down to the root, so you can experience real health and joy! As a weight-neutral provider, I believe your body is the expert, so I use Plate-by-Plate + principles of Intuitive Eating to help you find what works for you long-term. I’m a total science nerd and story teller, so I balance teaching you the nutrition science you need to know with the ability to trust and embrace the inner wisdom of your own inner RD.

Your first session with Martha

Before we dive into all things dietary, I just want to know who you are! We'll spend some time exploring your concerns, goals, barriers, history, and needs when it comes to health and wellness, but also the big picture of who you are and what you're wanting out of our sessions (and life!) Understanding your story as well as finding where you are right now helps me to better map out how we reach your goals, and in a way that matches your lifestyle’s pace. I want to help you rock your goals, but more importantly, I want this work to integrate beautifully into your very real life, so that it never feels like a diet or boot camp, but a life-giving refresh!
