About Mikaela
Hi there! I'm Kaela, a Registered Dietitian based in Nashville, Tennessee. I started my career working in a hospital setting, providing nutrition care for patients of all kinds. After that, I moved into a public health role where my chief goal was improving the health of my community through access to healthy food and safe spaces to be active for all people. In my role with Nourish, I enjoy supporting people as they work toward their personal goals and providing tailored support along the way. What I love about nutrition is that each person's journey is unique to them, and I am passionate about helping people find a path that fits their lifestyle, wants, and needs.
Approach to care
My approach to care is centered on applying evidence-based nutrition to each person's unique journey. I aim to leave each person feeling understood and empowered to take control of their health through simple, practical steps. I believe having a healthy relationship with food is also fundamental to achieving nutrition goals.
Your first session with Mikaela
In our first session, you can expect an unhurried conversation where I’ll take the time to learn more about you, your lifestyle, and your nutrition goals. This helps me understand what’s important to you and how we can work together to meet your goals. From there, we will work together to create a personalized plan, based on research-backed nutrition, that fits into your life and sets you up for long-term success.
