About Millicent

Hi-I'm Millicent! I'm a Registered Dietitian from Johnson City, Tennessee who is passionate about helping you achieve your health goals and helping you establish a judgement-free relationship with food. I have made it my mission to promote the concept of food freedom where there is freedom to eat without feeling guilt, stress, or shame about food choices. I want you to be able to reject diet culture and honor your hunger by applying intuitive eating principles to your daily life!

Approach to care

I have a holistic approach to health that addresses not just physical health, but mental, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being as well. I believe that food can be used as medicine for healing chronic diseases, fixing disordered eating behaviors, balancing hormones, and creating an overall more enjoyable lifestyle.

Your first session with Millicent

In your first session with me, I will spend time getting to know you and your upbringing. I will also ask you about what your relationship has been like with your weight status throughout your life. I will start with assessing your daily food intake, exercise habits, medications you take, sleep, stress levels, and how your emotions play a role in your eating habits. I will then use the process of motivational interviewing to help you find the motivation to make changes to your health and create sustainable habits.
