Hi & welcome! You can call me Jenn – I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who offers personalized nutrition counseling for you and your unique set of challenges and strengths. It’s fun, at times challenging, and always very rewarding work. I can’t wait to meet you and get started!
I decided to become a dietitian when I was in college and I learned YOU COULD DO THAT (!). I’d been interested in food, cooking, and nutrition my entire adult life, and noticed that especially in my sensitive body what I ate made a BIG impact on how I felt. My family had a history of heart disease, and I also learned from a pretty young age the impact diet and lifestyle makes on one’s long term health and chronic disease risk.
I graduated from the University of Georgia in 2006 with a degree in Dietetics and again in 2008 with a Master’s in Nutrition. Since then I’ve had a career that’s felt really enriching and rewarding to me. I’ve worked advising patients in 3 hospitals (Mount Sinai in NYC, Piedmont Atlanta, and Piedmont Fayette), consulting on school menus in 1 school system, and have been in private practice a total of 7 years (my favorite!).
In my private practice, I focus on providing high quality, individualized nutrition counseling to a variety of patients. I’m passionate about what I do and how I do it. I don’t sell packages because I don’t like how that feels as a consumer myself, if my clients ever feel like pivoting their energy I want them to do that, knowing they’re always welcome to re-engage. Sometimes people want to hit it hard to see me weekly to get some real change going; sometimes people need a sec to digest some information and see what works. Whatever level of service you need, that’s what I’m here to provide. I can help with:
Medical nutrition therapy to help manage newly diagnosed to complex medical conditions (diabetes, Crohn’s/colitis, celiac disease and other digestive disorders, heart disease)
Family wellness support when things feel too hard or unmanageable: finding common ground to meet everyone’s needs
Personalized nutrition recommendations to help you achieve your fitness goals for new or seasoned athletes (whether it’s your first marathon or 20th!)
Intuitive eating coaching: reframing your relationship with food in a more positive light
Ongoing support to help you work through challenges for as long as feels supportive to you!
"My goal in supporting my patients is to make healthy lifestyle changes easier, and ultimately more fun! Because food should be fun, even when modifications are required due to allergies, medical conditions, or just the general desire to feel better. My approach combines education with providing the motivation and accountability to “unstick” my clients from their current patterns that are no longer serving them in the best way. Schedule a visit with me, I’d love to help you on your journey!"
