Nicole Woo

About Nicole

Nicole is a non-diet, weight-inclusive dietitian from Charlottesville, VA who is passionate about helping individuals find the healthiest version of themselves without the side of diet noise, food guilt, and confusion. Nicole began her journey as a dietitian working at a university health center, and while she supported students with a wide range of nutrition concerns, most of Nicole’s clients were receiving support for disordered eating, a diagnosed eating disorder, and/or a poor relationship with food & body image. Nicole enjoys blending evidence-based nutrition with her clients’ individual needs to help them embrace a relationship and lifestyle with food that feels joyful & stress-free!

Approach to care

Nicole's mission is to provide high-quality, evidence-based nutrition counseling to anyone who feels uncomfortable with their relationship or behaviors with food in any way, shape, or form regardless if they have a diagnosed eating disorder or not. She practices from a weight-neutral perspective and believes that human "health" does not have one size, weight, or body shape. When appropriate, Nicole enjoys guiding clients to embrace intuitive eating skills that will support them long-term. Nicole loves to encourage clients to lead with curiosity instead of judgement as they evaluate their current patterns and beliefs around food & nutrition to create an action plan that you feel confident in!

Your first session with Nicole

One of Nicole's superpowers is making clients feel at-ease, empowered, and understood at their first session. You can expect a warm welcome followed by conversation to hear more about why you scheduled a session with Nicole and what you're hoping to get out of your time with a dietitian. Nicole will also invite you to share more about yourself & your journey/current situation with food, body image, exercise, and lifestyle so that she knows how she can best support you. Nicole will allow time at the end for any questions or concerns you may have about working together, share what you can expect moving forward, and set some baby-step goals, if appropriate, to get you EXCITED for your journey!
