Our Philosophy

No matter what nutrition or feeding concern brings you in, we treat all of our clients with respect and dignity. We believe… 

  • All bodies are good bodies 
  • There is no perfect way to feed your child 
  • Nutrition should be individualized 
  • Parents are the experts on their own children

It is our mission to create personalized, practical guidelines that parents can follow to achieve the nutrition and health outcomes best for their child. We take pride in listening to your concerns and your lived experience to come up with a plan most suitable for your child. 

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Appointments with your dietitian are detailed and in-depth. We will spend about an hour with you at each session, getting to know you or your child as a whole person. We will dive into interests, social history, medical history, medications, and labs to get the best picture of how we can help nutritionally. Expect to leave each appointment with concrete goals and recommendations that you can implement right away. 

How is a Registered Dietitian Different Than a Nutritionist?

An RD is a food and nutrition expert. RDs are extensively trained to provide Medical Nutrition Therapy. The education and guidance you will get from an RD is evidence based and scientifically proven via rigorous research studies. RDs have, at minimum, a Master’s degree in Food and Nutrition from an accredited university, and have passed a national exam to obtain the highly coveted RD credential. RDs must also obtain continuing education credits and maintain a professional development portfolio to stay abreast of the new research and science in the field. 
 
The term nutritionist is not regulated which means that anyone can call themselves a nutritionist without the formal education to back it up. There are no regulatory bodies to monitor the “nutritionists” you might see on social media. Always seek expert guidance from an RD!
