Denise Allen, RD

Hello! I look forward to supporting you with your nutrition goals! 

I became a Registered Dietitian as my second career. My interest in nutrition and health began early on in her life. After working in social service positions for 10 years, I observed how important one's nutrition can impact one's health. This led to an increased passion for pursuing nutrition education. I made the decision to embark on earning an MS in Nutrition from Bastyr University. After graduating, I had a passion of working with individuals with eating disorders as well as individuals with diabetes and chronic kidney disease. My nutrition career was focused on gaining knowledge and skills to assist individuals with their nutrition goals. I have been supporting people with their nutrition and health goals for over 15 years

Over the years, I have provided nutrition education and support to individuals and groups with a variety of health issues and nutrition goals. The past several years I have been supporting individual with both disordered eating and eating disorders. My other main areas of work experience include providing diabetes education and working with individuals receiving dialysis. During my time as a Registered Dietitian, I have provided nutrition support to those with food allergies, digestive issues, seeking general health improvement, as well as supported individuals with plant-based diets and individuals who have received bariatric surgery. 

When working with individuals, I seek to support individuals as part of their team. I will meet individuals where they are with their health, knowledge, and goals. My goal is to educate individuals to help them feel more in control of their nutrition needs. Additionally, my approach will provide individuals with a caring and realistic nutrition plan.

I have lived throughout western Washington and currently live north of Spokane, WA. My husband and I enjoy the outdoors and spending time with our four grandchildren. I have enjoyed traveling and seeing new places. I would love to be a successful gardener and continue to work on developing this hobby.
