About Mikaela
Mikaela is an experienced masters level dietitian who has worked in all levels of eating disorder care since 2020. She has been able to work with a variety of different diagnoses such as anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, ARFID, and OSFED. She has a passion for those who felt that they have tried all the different diets, but it hasn't worked for them and now they want to address their relationship with food and their body in a different way. She also comes from a background of athletic performance being a competitive soccer player at the collegiate level. She loves working with people who want to fuel their athletic endeavors so they can feel good, enjoy eating, and perform at their best.
Approach to care
She works alongside her clients in partnering against the many challenges of diet culture and eating disorders by helping people find more flexibility and joy with their relationship with food and their bodies. Mikaela treats each individual with compassion and kindness and works to meet them exactly where they are at knowing how we engage with food and our bodies is not a one size fits all journey. She aids people in challenging eating disorders, and performance nutrition expectations, through an all foods fit and weight neutral lens and uses principles of Health at Every Size (HAES), intuitive eating, and other approaches to meet their needs.
