About Sarah

Hello! My name is Sarah Baird and I have been a practicing Registered Dietitian since 2021. I started my career in Long-term Care, working in several local nursing homes before starting my journey with Nourish. In addition to working with the elderly, I also own a small farm which has provided my family and few friends with locally and organically grown produce on a fairly large scale. I believe in supporting local food systems and that everyone deserves to have access to food regardless of their socioeconomic status. My educational background is somewhat unique for a RD. I initially pursued a pre-veterinary medicine track while in college but decided that Vet School wasn't really what I wanted to do professionally. I ended up with a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science which I then followed up with a Master's of Science in Food Science and Human Nutrition. I jokingly call myself a "farm-to-table" Dietitian, which is fitting given my education and experience.

Approach to care

I believe in patient-centered care that is tailored to every individual. We are all different and nutrition-centered counseling needs to reflect that. I offer a neutral and empathetic ear that is crucial to providing a supportive environment, allowing patients to open up and feel safe. I want my patients to feel seen, have their concerns validated and to provide unbiased and evidenced-based information that will help them achieve their goals.

Your first session with Sarah

During your first session, I hope that you can feel safe and comfortable talking about yourself and any nutrition-related concerns and/or goals that you may have. You can delve into as much detail as you would like or we can talk about your history and what brought you to Nourish and to me.
