About Michaela

Hi! I'm Michaela. I have over 7 years of professional experience as a Registered Dietitian, primarily in the areas of emotional eating, disordered eating, eating disorders, cholesterol, blood pressure, and diabetes management. I have worked in various settings including a hospital, primary care doctor's office, and even a teaching kitchen. I a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and currently pursuing training in PCOS as well. I enjoy cooking and can help you answer the dreaded question, "what's for dinner?," with less stress. I love helping others feel empowered to make nutrition changes to feel better and meet health goals, without the side of guilt, stress, and shame.

Approach to care

I strive to create a judgement-free to meet you wherever you are in your health and nutrition journey! I practice from an all foods fit/non-diet approach, even when managing chronic conditions. My goal is to help you improve your health and quality of life through food and lifestyle changes. I welcome all and have additional training in HAES, LBGTQ+, neurodivergent, and trauma-informed care. I love bringing a sense of fun and warmth as we navigate nutrition facts-vs-myths and lifestyle changes together!

Your first session with Michaela

In our first session, my goal is to get to know you better. I'll ask questions about your medical history, nutrition and lifestyle habits, and goals of working together. I'll work with you to create a sustainable, realistic plan that is tailored to your unique needs and goals. Thanks for considering me as your dietitian - I appreciate the opportunity to support you on your nutrition journey!
