Jessica Romanotto, RD
Background
Do you have a poor relationship with food? What about body image? Have you tried every diet that the industry has to offer, but find yourself in a never ending cycle of guilt and shame surrounding your food choices? I'm here to tell you that it's not you whose to blame, it's diet culture. If you're looking to finally heal your relationship with food and your body, you've come to the right place. Trust me, I know it's hard to unlearn what the dieting industry has proclaimed as "healthy" and "unhealthy" for years, but know that this isn't a journey you have to face alone.
I'm an anti-diet registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) who has extensive work in the field of eating disorders in all levels of care. I've worked with those who struggle with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, orthorexia, avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), and other specified feeding and eating disorders.
I use a weight inclusive, health at every size (HAES) approach to treat clients because every person in every sized body is deserving of help. I also utilize evidence-based research to help you debunk the pseudoscience health claims of the dieting industry. Together we'll learn about the principles of intuitive eating and heal your relationship with food.

Approach
"My ideal client is someone who is willing to do the hard work, despite how scary it can be to change. Change is hard, but it can be an amazing thing to see what you're capable of. I am pretty direct in my approach, but also don't take myself too seriously. I tend to add humor and sarcasm to sessions to lighten the mood, especially when talking about hard things."
