Meet Abbey

My name is Abbey, and I am a registered dietitian nutritionist and certified intuitive eating counselor who is extremely passionate about empowering others to build a more peaceful, trusting relationship with food and their bodies. Utilizing the principles of Intuitive Eating, I support my clients in reconnecting with their hunger & fullness cues while learning how to nourish their bodies in a way that maintains the joy and satisfaction of eating. Using a gentle nutrition, weight- and body-neutral approach to nutrition education and counseling, I strive to meet you wherever you are in your journey. I thrive on building meaningful relationships with my clients as I provide a warm, welcoming, empathetic, collaborative, supportive, compassionate space for you to share your story, learn and grow. Together, we will create a sustainable, fulfilling lifestyle that helps you to achieve your holistic wellness and personal goals for years to come.

why im a dietitian

Growing up, I experienced a range of GI issues that eventually led to discovering several food sensitivities. That journey sparked my fascination with nutrition and the unique roles different foods and nutrients play in our bodies. While in college, I had the opportunity to shadow a NICU dietitian, and it was a truly defining moment. Watching a tiny newborn grow and develop through thoughtfully provided nutrition made me realize just how powerful and purposeful nourishment can be in supporting overall health & well-being. From then on, I knew I was meant to become a dietitian. As a self-proclaimed foodie dietitian, I take a non-judgmental approach to food & nutrition and encourage my clients to choose foods that not only honor their health but satisfy their taste buds.

FAVORITE FOOD
