About Sara

Hello there and thank you for viewing my profile! I'm Sara, a registered dietitian and certified intuitive eating counselor (CIEC) who is here to help you reach your nutrition goals. I must admit, my own journey with food has not always been ideal. As a child, I loved food (and still do), but due to the clear societal value placed on the thin ideal, my relationship with my food became rocky early on in my life. Stress was placed on shrinking my meals as well as myself, a lifestyle I learned was not sustainable. Ultimately, I learned how to heal my relationship with food and body and found the joy I once had around food. This being said, my true passion lies in helping others heal their relationship with food and body because I have been there and know how overwhelming it can be without the proper education and training. I became a CIEC to further my knowledge, providing the ultimate care for those looking to reach their nutrition goals without focusing on a diet or the scale.

Approach to care

My approach is client focused because this is your journey. I follow a non-diet, Health at Every Size approach. Every person’s experience and situations is different, therefore, recommendations are individualized to meet each person’s needs. Lastly, I like to hold a non-judgmental space for you to truly dive into your relationship with food and body.

Your first session with Sara

The first session is where I gather information about your current dietary, movement and self-care habits. We start to uncover your current thoughts and beliefs around food, body and overall health. Your long-term personal goals will be discussed so we can start to make small attainable goals to reach them.
