About Rachel

Hi! I’m Rachel, and I’m so excited to work with you! Outside my job as a dietitian, I'm a mom of two - so I totally understand the importance of a balanced lifestyle and convenient, simple nutrition. I'm also a Les Mills certified group fitness instructor! Encouraging people to be their strongest and healthiest is truly my calling. As someone who has struggled with and overcome disordered eating, I'm passionate about helping my clients develop a healthy relationship with food. I know social media is full of unrealistic body image content and conflicting information regarding nutrition and I’m here to support you, answer all your questions, and build a plan that works for you!

Approach to care

My approach to nutrition counseling is individualized, always judgement-free, and, most importantly, fun! The goal isn’t perfection, but I hope to reframe healthy eating into something effortless rather than stressful. With diet culture so rampant in today’s world, my priority as a dietitian is to help you attain healthy, realistic, and sustainable eating habits.

Your first session with Rachel

In our first session, I'll ask a lot about YOU! We'll chat about your "why" and will discuss what has (and hasn’t) worked in the past. We'll also come up with measurable goals to work towards. Building trust with my clients and getting to know them outside of just their diet is truly the best part of my job. I’m excited to learn about you and what makes you unique! After working together, my hope is that you’ll feel physically, mentally, and emotionally confident to achieve and maintain your goals.
