Non-Diet Approach Nutritionists and Dietitians in North Carolina

As a non-diet, Health at Every Size aligned dietitian, I enjoy working with individuals who want to better their lives through dietary and lifestyle changes. I've seen the positive effects of eating to nourish body and mind and the negative effects when clients are not meeting their nutrition needs. Working with clients to develop a plan to help meet their needs, often reducing physical and mental stress, is a passion of mine. We discuss individualized goals that work within the bounds of a person's lifestyle and preferences.

I am NOT here to be the food police, or tell you everything you are doing wrong with your eating. I started KT Nutrition with the goal of helping my clients challenge their negative beliefs about food in order to reestablish a healthy relationship with their own body. Our body is our most powerful ally in determining what and how much we need to eat, and unfortunately modern diet culture attempts to sever this relationship with shakes, pills, and other unhelpful "lifestyle changes". I believe that we reach our own optimal health and happiness when we are in tune with what our body needs, not what society tells us it needs.

My hope is to accompany you on your journey of re-discovering the sacred connection to your body while healing your relationship with food. Everyone is born with intuitive wisdom to nourish and care for themselves, no matter how dormant it may feel. I use a non-diet approach to nutrition based on intuitive eating principles, health at every size, and flexible thinking. I specialize in nutrition therapy for eating disorders, disordered eating, and chronic dieting. I am licensed in North Carolina & South Carolina.

I work with adults looking to take a food-first approach to balance hormones, optimize fertility, improve gut issues, support autoimmunity, increase energy, and reduce cravings, aches, and pains.

My goal is to leave you with less confusion and cravings, and more energy to live your life day-to-day, confidence in your ability to maintain your health, and excitement around food!
