About Sarah

Hi y'all! I am a Registered Dietitian with experience in enteral nutrition, perinatal health, nutrition for older adults, and chronic disease management. I work full-time at a large, urban, high-acuity hospital, where I help patients from all walks of life with complex, diverse nutrition concerns. My experience has taught me that knowledge is one very small piece of the puzzle when it comes to health habits. Our families, cultures, identities, finances, schedules, and experiences all shape our decisions. I am passionate about finding nutrition solutions that fit your life, not the other way around.

Approach to care

I firmly believe in body trust: you know your body best! We can spend so much energy on what we are doing or eating "wrong," which can leave us feeling disconnected to our own bodies and health. My role is to help rebuild that connection, and use my nutrition knowledge to guide you in finding solutions that work for you, your body, and your lifestyle. "Health" looks different for every person, and we will work together to discover what that means for you. My approach is positive, empowering, and affirming - and I hope it becomes yours as well! :)

Your first session with Sarah

I want to learn all about you: your motivation, your goals, your experiences, and your worries. This first session might feel a bit more structured and "clinical" than others, with a lot of questions about your medical and nutrition history. I will share a bit about myself and my approach, and will provide plenty of opportunity to ask questions. We will also discuss where you would like our work together to go, and begin setting goals and expectations.
