About Nicole

Welcome! I’m Nicole, a Registered Dietitian dedicated to helping you navigate your health journey with confidence and ease. I believe that true wellness starts with a judgment-free zone, where you feel heard and supported rather than critiqued. I look forward to getting to know you and working together towards your goals!

Approach to care

Nutrition is deeply personal, and I believe your care should be, too. My approach is rooted in the belief that food should be a source of nourishment and joy, not a source of anxiety. In our sessions, I prioritize creating a judgment-free zone where you feel heard and supported. I don't believe in rigid, one-size-fits-all rules; instead, I provide personalized recommendations that honor your unique biology and lifestyle. I am committed to meeting you exactly where you are at, regardless of your starting point or past experiences with diet culture. We aren’t looking for perfection; we are looking for progress that feels sustainable for your real life. Together, we will create client-centered, attainable goals that empower you to build lasting habits and confidence, one manageable step at a time.

Hobbies

When I’m not working with clients, you can usually find me leaning into my love for movement and family. As an avid runner, I enjoy the challenge of training for 5Ks, 10Ks, and half marathons, and these days, my training often includes the extra resistance of a stroller as I share the miles with my two young daughters. Being a mom to my two girls is my favorite role, and it keeps me inspired to create a healthy, happy home environment every day. To recharge, I love getting lost in a good book, and I truly find my balance in the kitchen, whether I’m cooking a nourishing meal for my family or baking something sweet to share with friends.
