Patient reviews
āSummer is positive, helpful, and patient. She challenges in helpful ways and never shames. Sheās great at what she does!ā
by Eric on February 21st, 2026
āSummer has been amazing! Easy to talk to which makes it easy to share all the nitty gritty details of what is going on with my health. She doesn't judge when you eat something you shouldn't but will gently urge you in a better direction. Her dedication to finding a path for me to feel better is obvious in her suggestions and recommendations. This lady knows her stuff! She has been a blessing that I get to work with her!ā

About Summer
Iām a proud graduate of Winthrop University and completed my dietetic internship. As a registered dietitian, I bring a unique combination of leadership, compassion, and real-world experience that sets me apart. I've served as a lead dietitian for two years in a skilled nursing facility, overseeing clinical nutrition services while supporting both patients and interdisciplinary teams. Prior to that, I worked in a variety of settings including WIC and acute care, giving me a well-rounded understanding of nutrition across all stages of life. Originally from Texas, Iāve moved often due to my fatherās career, which taught me how to adapt quickly and connect easily with people from all walks of life. I now live in South Carolina with my husband and our three cats. When Iām not working, youāll find me practicing yoga, going on long walks, traveling, or exploring new restaurantsāespecially if thereās dessert involved!
Approach to care
What sets me apart is my ability to connect. I believe nutrition should feel approachable, not overwhelming. Clients choose to work with me because I meet them where they areācreating realistic, sustainable goals rooted in empathy, evidence-based care, and their unique lifestyle. Whether you're managing a chronic condition, navigating a new diagnosis, or simply trying to feel your best, Iāll walk alongside you with support and strategy every step of the way. I look forward to being a trusted partner on your health journeyāand celebrating your progress every step of the way.
