About Nickie

Hi, I’m Nickie Patel, a Registered Dietitian (RD) with a background in kinesiology and years of experience helping clients reconnect with their bodies and build sustainable habits that actually work in real life. I believe nutrition should be empowering—not overwhelming.

Approach to care

My approach is practical, mindful, and rooted in both science and compassion. I work best with people who are ready to make a change and want a guide to help them get there. Whether your goal is weight loss, hormone balance, gut health, or just feeling better in your body again, we’ll work together to create a plan that supports your lifestyle—not the other way around. I use evidence-based tools and a non-diet philosophy to help you build habits that feel doable, not draining. Outside of sessions, I’m a huge believer in hot girl walks, lifting heavy, sipping matcha, and journaling as a form of therapy. I know how hard it can be to prioritize yourself in a busy life, but I also know what’s possible when you do. My goal is to help you make peace with food, feel more in control of your health, and create a life that feels good on your terms. If you're looking for someone who gets it, keeps it real, and helps you stay accountable—I'm your girl. Let’s do this together.

Your first session with Nickie

Our first session is all about getting to know you. We’ll start with a deep dive into your health history, current habits, goals, and any challenges you’re facing. I want to understand the full picture—your lifestyle, stress levels, sleep, eating patterns, and what’s worked or not worked in the past. You can expect: A judgment-free space to talk openly Personalized goal setting that feels realistic and doable Initial tips or small changes to get you started A clear plan for next steps and how we’ll work together moving forward By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a sense of direction, some clarity, and hopefully a little motivation too. My job is to help you feel supported, not overwhelmed.
