About Shaun
Hey I’m Shaun (he/him), a New York City-based Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist with over 8 years of professional experience in clinical and community settings. My nutrition philosophy is guided by evidence-based research, the experiences of my clients, and my own personal journey. I have a special interest in supporting clients in healing their relationship with food, while also acknowledging how social factors and systems of oppression shape nutrition, lifestyle, and overall well-being.
Approach to care
Navigating this world is difficult enough; your relationship with food shouldn’t add extra stress. My approach to care is grounded in compassion, empathy, and a weight-inclusive lens. While weight loss may be your personal goal, I do not provide care for intentional weight loss. I’m not here to offer quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions. My role is to support you in making long-term health-promoting behavior changes, which may or may not change your weight.
Your first session with Shaun
Your first session is all about you, of course! I want to hear your experiences, your goals, your relationship with food, and whatever else feels important to you. This is a nonjudgmental, safe space to talk openly. We’ll explore what’s been working for you, what feels challenging, and how we can support your relationship with food in a way that feels sustainable and affirming. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, empowered, and ready to take the next step toward your personal health goals.
