About Mindy

Hi, I'm Mindy, a Registered Dietitian based in Conifer, Colorado. I bring 20 years of experience as an RD, with an MS in Nutrition Science from the University of Wisconsin Madison. My career has ranged from clinical hospital care to WIC coordination, Women's Health Initiative research, and private practice. Outside of work, I love hiking, cooking, running, yoga, golf, weight lifting, skiing, and reading. I'm here to support your health journey with warmth, practicality, and a focus on you as a person.

Approach to care

My care is grounded in evidence and empathy. I will work with you in a collaborative, nonjudgmental way, drawing on current science to guide clear, doable steps. I practice with a holistic lens that honors mental, emotional, and physical health and embraces Health At Every Size principles. I aim for sustainable change, not quick fixes, with practical strategies, accountability, and education that puts you in the driver's seat. We will build a plan that fits your life, values, and goals with compassion and realism.

Your first session with Mindy

Our first appointment is a warm, judgment-free conversation about you. We'll review your medical history, lab work and biometrics, and together establish short-term goals. We'll dive into your relationship with food, daily routines, and what feels doable in the near term. You don't need to have it all figured out ahead of time; we'll pace things to fit your life and preferences. By the end of our session, you'll leave with a clear sense of direction and a couple of reachable next steps.
