Hey there, I'm Chelsey – your friendly neighborhood Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist, redefining the way we approach food and well-being. My journey took off teaching English in Japan, ventured into behavioral therapy for kids with autism, and now, I'm making waves in the nutrition world.
Armed with a Master's in Nutrition from Loma Linda University and a Bachelor's in Psychology and Asian American Studies from the Claremont Colleges, I've navigated the fast-paced world of various Los Angeles hospitals, delivering medical nutrition therapy.
Picture this: I've had the chance to contribute as an eating disorder specialist at a respected treatment center and lend a hand to a group practice focused on healing relationships with food, body, and mind. My passion? Offering weight-inclusive care, guiding individuals toward a weight-neutral approach that transforms eating habits into intuitive choices – decisions that are judgment-free and uninfluenced by diet culture. Let's just appreciate, trust, and care for our bodies, shall we?
As a firm believer that our relationship with food shapes physical, emotional, social, mental, and spiritual health, I'm here to guide you. Beyond knowing what to eat, the real challenge is sustaining motivation for lifelong wellness, and it all starts with the relationship we have with ourselves.
Outside the nutrition realm, catch me hanging out with my tortoises or crafting cool miniature houses. Join me on this journey – managing a medical condition, redefining your relationship with food, or aiming to shed guilt and shame. It's a unique adventure for each of us, and I'm here to support, encourage, and celebrate every step. Cheers to finding food freedom and embracing a healthier, happier you!
