April Ray, RD

Hello! I’m April Ray, MS, RDN, LD. I have a Master of  Professional Practice in Dietetics from Iowa State University. Additionally, having passed the national registration exam, I am both a Registered Dietitian and state (Arkansas) licensed dietitian. 

When working with me you can expect personalized and evidence based care. There are no “one-size-fits-all” plans here. Our sessions will be collaborative. I will be here to guide, educate and coach, but you are the one in charge. We want realistic, sustainable and measurable solutions. You will leave our sessions with specific strategies that fit your needs. 

Changing your relationship with nutrition does take time. I’ll be here with you the whole way: tracking progress, updating goals and adapting to your journey with consistent

guidance and patience.

I believe that food is what unites us. It is pleasure, celebration, comfort and fuel. I love trying different cuisines  and learning about the cultures that inspired them. Outside of nutrition, you’ll find me dancing around to Taylor Swift with my 4 beautiful children. Additionally, I enjoy running and coaching competitive cheer. 

My journey to nutrition was shaped by a love of athletics and the food that fuels it. Clinically, my inspiration comes from my mother’s battle with esophageal cancer. Her illness culminated with a tracheotomy and a gastric tube for feeding. This taught me

how powerful food can be in shaping health outcomes. 

I value compassion and connection within my practice. Let me lead you on your journey and I will help you feel powerful in your choices and confident in your body. No judgement here. Every body’s different and all journeys take us where we are supposed to be.
