About Martha
I'm Martha Lee Anne (MLA), and have practiced as a non-diet, HAES dietitian For 9 1/2 years! My background is in eating disorder/disordered eating recovery at the PHP/IOP/OP levels of care. Aside eating disorder recovery, chronic dieting, and general health and wellness, I enjoy areas of women's health including: PCOS, insulin resistance, hormonal balance, perinatal nutrition, and often weave these into my practice as needed. My undergraduate and graduate degrees are in Nutrition. I’ve worked as a Dietary Director/Mentor at a eating disorder treatment center + served as a preceptor for UAB’s dietetic internship program!
Approach to care
Aside providing a faith-based approach for those who prefer it, I love to blend functional and 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! I believe your body is the expert, so I don't use restriction, calorie tracking, or rigid rules in practice; instead, I use MyPlate + principles of Intuitive Eating to help you find what works for you. Personally, I want to help you find health, but even more so, food and body freedom!
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, 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! 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 the pace you need for it to be sustainable and enjoyable!
