Background
Ariel Danek Smith works with individuals to revive their thoughts about food and meet their nutrition goals using an all foods fit approach. Learn how nutrients work in the body and the benefit of transforming your mindset from what to take away to what to add into your daily eating routine. Ditch dieting, counting calories, and weighing yourself for good in a safe and fun environment. Whether healing from disordered eating, or simply being interested in a different approach to nutrition, Ariel provides an individual approach with each client to best meet your needs.
After finding her own balance in the complicated world of nutrition, Ariel started her private practice to help motivated individuals feel confident in nourishing themselves on a daily basis. Ariel was raised in the suburbs of Chicago, attended the University of Kentucky (go CATS!) and Appalachian State University. She has worked in primary care offices, taught nutrition classes, excelled in nutrition therapy, and led focus groups on why sustainable approaches are the most effective.
Discover how to view grocery shopping, clothes buying, and diet talk in a different way. Leave each session feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the world (or at least the week ahead of you).
Ariel is also a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist and helps individuals with prediabetes and diabetes manage their condition with confidence.
