Kellie Mayfield, RD

Hey, I’m Kellie—a registered dietitian nutritionist and PhD based in Atlanta, GA. This is the third capital city I’ve called home, and I’ve loved experiencing the unique cuisines and cultural influences of each. My goal is to help you build practical, sustainable, and empowering tools and habits that fit into your real life—including vacations and celebrations—while promoting joy and overall well-being.

I am a scientist with an academic and professional background in Biology, Environmental Studies, and analytical chemistry. I hold a PhD in Human Nutrition with a focus on community health and completed a dietetic internship following my doctoral studies. I'm an unabashed, unashamed nerd, and a creative—something that shapes how I approach solutions, prepare food, and move through the world.

Driven by a deep belief that food is a tool for healing and connection, I approach every session with compassion, curiosity, and respect. You can expect a nonjudgmental space where your full self is welcomed, and your goals are co-created—not imposed. I offer tailored solutions that align with your unique needs, values, and lived experiences.

As someone who’s lived in suburban, urban, and rural communities, I understand how food access and choices shift across environments. I bring that insight and flexibility into my work—whether we’re talking about your neighborhood grocery store, your community garden, or your favorite local spot. With southern and coastal roots, I also carry that ethos into my work with clients.

Outside of work, I enjoy experimenting with new foods, making healthy eating delicious and affordable, and spending time in nature. As an urban homesteader and gardener, I grow food, make herbal remedies, and find joy in the creative process. I believe that growing and preparing food can be powerful acts of nourishment, resilience, and joy. If you’re interested in connecting nutrition and nature, I’d love to support you in finding that for yourself.

If any of this resonates with you, let’s connect. I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
