Background

Hi! I'm glad you stopped by. I’m Nikki Cunningham, a Registered Dietitian with a deep passion—and truly a calling—for helping people live healthier, more fulfilling lives through food. I believe nutrition should be accessible, realistic, and sustainable, and I work to meet each person where they are.

I have over 10 years of experience in clinical nutrition, bariatric and weight management, and wellness coaching, including oncology, cardiology, diabetes, and pediatric/family nutrition. I especially enjoy helping clients find a balance that supports their health while still enjoying the foods they love. One of my favorite lessons came from a patient early in my career; at 90 years young, he reminded me that nutrition is as much about enjoying food as it is about managing a condition. For me, being a dietitian is more than a career—it’s a way to serve others, offering guidance, encouragement, and occasionally some tough love as we navigate toward your health goals together.

I take a practical, evidence-based approach, but I also believe in the power of connection, compassion, and seeing people as whole individuals. My goal is always to help clients feel supported, empowered, and confident in making lasting lifestyle changes. If barriers are standing in your way, we’ll figure them out and break them down together.

When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family, experimenting with new recipes, teaching others to find joy in food and cooking, and volunteering in my community.
