Nutrition Counseling

Do you want to have a healthy and peaceful relationship to food?

Do you...

Want to become a more competent, confident and joyful eater?

Feel like food, exercise and/or body concerns take up way too much space in your mind?
Desire to live an empowered life in alignment with what really matters to you?
Want to learn how to manage metabolic issues (like high cholesterol or prediabetes) without going on a diet?
Want to develop a sustainable approach and healthy relationships to nutrition and movement?

It can feel difficult to figure out what the best way of eating is for you and your body, especially with all the confusing nutrition information we hear out in the world. Something so basic can feel overwhelming and complicated.

Breaking up with diet culture can feel scary.

Our society conditions us to believe that we should be worried about our food, and that our hunger and enjoyment are threats to our health.

If you've spent years of your life following strict diets and obsessing over food, chances are good you feel exhausted and disempowered. You may even feel like a failure because nothing you try "works" or you can't seem to stay "on track."

All you want is peace with food. With the help of nutrition counseling, you can learn to trust your body and yourself to get and stay nourished, so you can the life you deserve.

Many people spend years of their lives going on and off diets.

In fact, at any given time, about one‑third of Americans are actively following some type of diet. The most popular diets recently have been intermittent fasting and keto. The thing is, there's no good research that connects diets like these to positive health outcomes or weight loss (like they promise). Oftentimes, they usually just leave people feeling disconnected, frustrated, and tired—and definitely not healthy.

The good news? With the support of a compassionate and experienced dietitian, you can put yourself back in the driver's seat and become an empowered and joyful eater.

Nutrition counseling can help you heal your relationship to food.

We are dietitians passionate about working with people who want to take the reigns back from diet culture and find freedom within their relationships with food. Whether you've been dieting for your entire life or just the last few months, our dietitians can help you develop a more sustainable, peaceful, and joyful way of eating.

What's included in nutrition counseling

We take a non-diet and health-focused (versus weight-focused) approach to nutrition counseling, and we address all aspects of our clients’ health – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. In other words, we look at the whole picture and the whole person—not just numbers and labs.

Depending on our clients’ needs, we provide fluid meal planning, nutrition education, meal- and snack-time support, intuitive eating and exercise tools, metabolic lab evaluation, nutrition tracking, as well as self-care tools clients can use for the rest of their lives. We provide our clients with nutrition guidance to help them manage and heal health issues, fully trust their bodies, and uncover their intuitive abilities to nourish themselves for the rest of their lives — in a sustainable and joyful way. We also take a deep dive into clients' belief systems, thought processes, and feelings around food—all at a pace that feels best to them.

Plus, we provide the option to incorporate yoga, breathing and other meditation and mindfulness techniques into our sessions. We believe these are valuable tools to help clients regulate their nervous systems, and get and stay connected to their best teachers and nutritionists — their bodies.

Finally, we offer collaborative sessions with our clients' loved ones when it makes sense.

Each dietitian on our team has years of experience helping clients manage and heal health issues without being on crazy diets, and loves witnessing clients take their power back from diet culture.

You might still have questions about nutrition counseling.

What if I do want to lose weight?

While we are not a weight-loss practice and we believe health can exist in all bodies, we will hold space for your weight loss desire and help you to address all aspects of your health. Sometimes, weight loss is a result of behavior changes our clients make, and sometimes it's not.

What if it feels hard to share my food history with a dietitian?

Our relationships to food are deeply personal and we understand the vulnerability that's required to heal your relationship to it. We encourage clients to go at a pace that feels right for them and never push our clients to share before they're ready. Safety and trust in our client relationships are our number one priorities.

Do you take insurance for nutrition counseling?

While we do not directly bill insurance, we do provide clients (upon request) with superbills that they can submit to their insurers for potential reimbursement. Some of our clients get reimbursed and others don't—it depends on their plan. We also offer reduced fees for clients who need them.

Emotional Eating: What It Is, Why it's Normal & How to Deal With It

Navigating emotions may be the hardest part of being a human. Over the last couple of years, it’s safe to say we have been collectively living in a particularly emotionally turbulent time. In my work as a registered dietitian & nutrition therapist, I have certainly seen the use of disordered eating behaviors increase, in attempts to manage hard emotions since the pandemic started. Today, I’d like to talk specifically about emotional eating, a concept that is often misunderst

Why Nutrition is Crucial in Helping Prevent or Manage Anxiety

Hello, Happy June, and thanks for reading. Today’s blog topic is one that has been on my mind for quite some time – even well before this global pandemic, which has undoubtedly amplified pre-existing anxiety in many people, and created the perfect storm for brand-new cases in others. As a believer in a collaborative approach, and the merging of Western & Eastern medicine, I am certainly not suggesting that nutrition is to be used in place of therapy, and/or medicine to manag

Why You Don’t Need a Post-Vacation Detox or Diet

I feel very fortunate to share that I just got back from a freakin’ awesome vacation last week – spent two weeks in Europe. Ate all the food and drank all the wine – the photo on this post is the most amazing cheesecake I’ve ever eaten in San Sebastian, Spain (visit my IG page to see some photos of more delicious-ness). Food was absolutely one of the best parts of the trip. Now, back to reality. If I was still entrenched in a diet/disordered eating mindset like I was many ye

Why We Should Eat Bread (and other grains)

Hands-down, the number one macronutrient (carbs, fats, protein) that I hear people say they’re avoiding are carbohydrates. From my clients – with AND without eating disorders – to family members to friends and next-door neighbor, this fear and avoidance of carbs does not discriminate. Constantly, I hear statements like, “My weakness is English muffins,” “I’m afraid of how many calories are in grains,” or “I’ve just always heard carbs aren’t good for me.” I’ve also noticed th

Why our relationships to food affect our whole lives

D oes your relationship to food get in the way of you living your best life? If your answer is yes, please know it is really common in our culture to get distracted by the latest diets and fitness obsessions, and then led down into a rabbit hole of life-sucking behaviors that certainly don’t help us live into our values. They actually do the opposite, and take us away from what is really important in life. That’s why, today, I want to talk life values – the reasons why we fe

Client reviews & testimonials...

“When I first reached out to Caroline, I was in a very dark, hopeless place. I did not believe I could ever escape my disordered thoughts and have a healthy relationship with food and my body. Caroline responded with the only thing that I could believe at the time – that I was brave, and I was not alone. Over the past six months, Caroline has empowered me to take small, significant steps towards healing. Through her patient and grace-filled manner, Caroline has helped me make life-changing revelations about the underlying causes of my disordered thoughts. She has showed me how to truly nurture myself and honor my boundaries in all areas of my life. Six months ago, living in peace in my body and mind seemed impossible. But Caroline is a healer, and she has given me this unimaginable gift.”
