About McKenzie
Hi there! I'm a non-diet registered dietitian nutritionist passionate about helping my clients ditch the dieting cycle, find food freedom, build body confidence, and learn to love life! I specialize in helping clients heal their relationships with food and their body. By teaching intuitive eating and mindfulness, I help my clients move from a life of food obsession, disordered eating, and body stress to a life of food freedom and body confidence.
Approach to care
My approach to care is holistic, taking considerations for your mental health in addition to physical health. I take a non-diet approach to nutrition care, teaching intuitive eating and mindful eating to help you reconnect to your body. Combining both my professional and personal experience with disordered eating and mental health care, I provide an empathetic, safe space for us to work together to create a personalized nutrition plan and empower you to reach your health goals.
Your first session with McKenzie
During our first session, we'll discuss what brings you to see me, what health issues you have been experiencing, and the goals you'd like to achieve during our work together. I'll collect information on your personal and family history, your eating habits and food preferences, and assess your current nutrition knowledge to create a personalized nutrition plan for our work together going forward. I'll provide options for personalized care, including nutrition education, guided mindful eating practices, and in-between session support.
