Intuitive Eating Nutritionists and Dietitians in Rhode Island

I am a Non Diet/HAES Dietitian and a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. My passion is to help people who struggle with chronic dieting and eating disorders. I help my clients develop a healthy REAL INTUITIVE relationship with food, by stopping the "food worrying" and labeling food as "good or bad" and becoming their own experts when it comes to listening to their bodies. My approach is very unique and individualized. I work with children, adolescents, college students, adults and all genders.

Are you struggling with the diet cycle? Trying one after another but never able to keep the weight off? I'm going to let you in on a secret - diets don't work. You may experience success in the beginning followed by guilt if you "fall off" the plan, intense cravings and feeling unable to keep up with the strict rules of your diet, and so the cycle continues. If you relate to this maybe it's time to live a life free of diets. No more rules around food and movement. No more focusing solely on the scale. Let's heal your relationship with food and body. It's time to nourish yourself and find the joy in food again.

With experience working in clinical dietetics, nutrition education, and eating disorder treatment, I've seen just how important a good nutritional foundation is for our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. I see clients via Telehealth in my virtual practice to help with various concerns such as eating disorders and disordered eating, stress management, pregnancy and postpartum nutrition, family nutrition (from introducing solids to picky eaters to growth and development), intuitive eating, health concerns (stress, cardiac issues, blood sugar management, etc.), or just a desire to improve overall health and well-being.

I specialize in performance nutrition, mindful/intuitive eating, eating disorders, co-existing food fears & anxiety disorders including OCD. I believe that fueling & nourishing one’s body with awareness, curiosity & compassion are pivotal to feeling one’s best both physically & emotionally. As a weight-neutral dietitian, my mission is simple: I promote a non-diet mindful & intuitive eating & fueling philosophy, believe that ALL foods fit & that choosing foods that we find enjoyable is essential. I provide client-centered counseling. This enables us to work together as a team & places you in the “driver's seat."

Everyone has a unique food story, some are filled with joy or comfort and others with regret, shame and frustration. No matter what your relationship with food has been, I can work with you to make changes. If you have suffered with an eating disorder or engage in behaviors that you do not feel are "normal," let's talk and figure out how to make realistic changes that work for you. Even if you have been suffering with this for years, I can help. Do you have a diabetes diagnosis and need help with figuring out what or how to eat, do you have bloating, diarrhea and constipation and are frustrated because you don't know why?

I believe that everyone deserves to have a basic understanding of nutrition, and my goal is to help clients meet their individual nutritional needs and set realistic, achievable goals. I understand that improving health is about more than just “knowing what to do,” and that seeing me is often not your first step towards better health. Part of working with me is identifying and helping you overcome past and present obstacles in order to create lasting lifestyle changes.

With my previous position as adolescent dietitian for in higher levels of eating disorder care, I have a special passion for eating disorder work. I may have years of formal education under my belt, but what I will never presume to know is how you “should eat.” I love helping people find an eating pattern that suits their needs, wants, and circumstances. I practice with a Health at Every Size framework that allows you to explore your health values regardless of your body size.

I specialize in helping adults with sports/performance nutrition, mindful eating, and balanced lifestyle habits. I empower my clients to feel their best through nutrition and health habits and teach them how to fuel their bodies properly to crush their goals. I give my clients strategies and knowledge for balanced eating habits that are sustainable, where you can enjoy all of your favorite foods and still reach your goals! My coaching style as informative, positive, and supportive in a judgement-free environment. I provide my clients with ongoing support in reaching their nutrition and health goals.

Are you tired of dieting, only to gain it all back? Are you confused on what to eat/not eat due to all the confusing information from friends and social media? Are you frustrated with why you tend to binge eat at night when you think you've been "good" all day? Are you tired of suffering from an IBS diagnosis with constant bloating and constipation? The good news is that I can help you with all these issues and help you to finally start feeling better!

I believe everyone has the right to live an energetic, symptom free life and have epic daily poops. Bloating, reflux, irregular bowel movements, gas, food sensitivities, chronic fatigue, weight fluctuations and skin issues are not normaI and are not all in your head. I help people struggling with chronic gut health issues overcome their symptoms through evidence based, plant centered nutrition strategies when conventional medicine has failed them. Together we will take an individualized, holistic approach to restore your gut health, calm inflammation and ditch the diets so you can feel confident in the way you eat, look, and feel.

My primary focus is to understand and analyze your lifestyle in order to create a nutrition plan that provides you a lifetime of healthy habits that are attainable and sustainable. I can assist individuals trying to manage their diabetes, reach and/or maintain a healthy weight, and face disordered eating behaviors. Through personal and professional experience, I understand the difficulties needed to confront and alleviate obstacles that may be standing in your way. My goal is to help create a nutrition plan based on your nutrition status, medical condition, and personal goals.

Do you feel like you’ve tried “everything” but you still aren’t losing weight? You hit the gym regularly and eat healthy but still don’t look like you workout? Do you struggle with constipation, acne, bloating, or other hormonal or digestive symptoms but your doctor tells you all of your lab results “look normal”?
