About Rachel

Hi, I'm Rachel, a Registered Dietitian based in Chicago. I earned my MS in Dietetics and Nutrition from The Ohio State University and have nearly a year of experience across clinical hospital and long term care settings. I practice with warmth and evidence in mind, and I’m proud to work with the LDN and RDN credentials that reflect my training. Outside of work, I love reading, lifting, cooking, and trying new bars and restaurants with friends. I believe in balance and meeting you where you are. Additionally, I believe in meeting your health goals without sacrificing fun or your favorite sweet treat!

Approach to care

My care philosophy blends science with empathy and collaboration. I base our plan on current research but always meet you where you are, with a non judgmental and supportive approach. We’ll set practical, sustainable steps that fit your life and goals, emphasizing long term change over quick fixes. I practice with a Health At Every Size lens and a holistic view that includes sleep, stress, relationships with food, and body image. Together, we’ll learn, adapt, and grow!

Your first session with Rachel

Our first appointment is a low-pressure conversation about you. We'll explore your medical history, current routines, relationship with food, and what you hope to achieve. No need to have it all figured out yet; this is the start of a partnership. We’ll identify 1 or 2 realistic goals and outline what support looks like week to week. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of direction and a sense that we’ll navigate this together.
