About Rachel

Hi, I'm Rachel. I have 18 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian, and I earned my MS in Nutrition from Boston University. Over my career I’ve worked in corporate wellness, private practice, sports nutrition, research and academia, and with collegiate athletes and professional teams in the NFL and NBA. I have experience working with marathon runners and Ironman triathletes. Once upon a time I did a full Ironman myself! I’m passionate about health, wellness, and helping people fuel their fitness goals. Outside of work I love running, Peloton, spending time with family, cooking, baking, and reading. I’m glad you’re here.

Approach to care

My care is evidence-based and person-centered. I ground every plan in current science while staying warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental. We’ll translate knowledge into clear, practical steps and accountability that fit your life. I practice from a holistic, health at every size perspective and keep the focus on sustainable behavior changes, not quick fixes or dieting culture. With my MS in Nutrition and credentials as an RDN, LDN, and CSSD, I stay curious, collaborative, and committed to helping you understand the why behind your choices so you can move forward with confidence.

Your first session with Rachel

Our first session is all about you. We’ll create a safe, judgment-free space where you can share your goals, routines, challenges, and medical history without pressure. You don’t need to have it all figured out yet; we’ll explore what matters most and set 1 or 2 short-term goals to get started. I’ll listen, ask questions, and help you see how nutrition fits your life. By the end, you’ll leave with a clear sense of the next steps and a plan you feel confident pursuing together.
