Prior to being at Nourish, she worked in the acute care/inpatient setting at a level 1 trauma hospital center in the Twin Cities area in Minnesota.

Approach to care

Stacy's mission as a dietitian has always been the desire to empower individuals through nutrition education & counseling in a way that inspires & motivates them to make long lasting diet, health & lifestyle changes. She finds all aspects of peoples' lives important to her role as a dietitian, & considers stress management, sleep, exercise, & quality of life indicators when creating individualized, client-centered plans. Her passion for nutrition & helping others has driven her to be a life-long learner, where she is constantly seeking to gain more knowledge & stay up to date with evidenced-based literature in order to best serve people. She also strives to help people build healthier relationships with food, so people will view foods beyond the belief that they can only be categorized as "healthy" or "unhealthy."

Your first session with Stacy

Stacy is THOROUGH! She will ask you many questions, not only as a way to get to know you, but also as a way to get crucial information that will help tailor recommendations specifically to you. She is eager to hear where you're at in your nutrition/health journey, what goals you have for yourself, & what factors you feel have been barriers to reaching your goals in the past. You can expect her to have enthusiasm to be a part of your nutrition/health journey, support/encouragement throughout the process, as well as a knowledge source to help steer you in the direction you desire to be with your goals, using tools & recommendations that help you be successful.
