About Me: Stephanie McKercher, MS, RDN
Hi there, my name is Stephanie McKercher, MS, RDN (she/her)
I'm a registered dietitian, certified intuitive eating counselor, and the creator of Grateful Grazer. I help people move away from food obsession and dieting with a weight-inclusive approach to nutrition.
My own recovery from disordered eating is part of what led me here. I know what it's like to care deeply about eating well and still feel completely out of control around food. Trusting my body again is something I continue to practice, and it's given me a completely different relationship with eating.
I cook a lot of plant-forward food at home, but my recipes aren't about convincing you to eat any particular way. More than anything, I hope to support your exploration of what feels good for you.
Whether you're here for recipes, nutrition content, or one-on-one support, my goal is the same: to help you come back to your body, and enjoy food along the way.
MY APPROACH
What I'm all about
In nutrition counseling sessions, we focus on building consistent, satisfying eating, getting curious about foods that feel off-limits, and settling into a deeper trust with your own body. My approach is non-diet, weight-inclusive, and somatic-informed. Plant-based guidance is included if you choose it, never required.
I work with the full spectrum of disordered eating, from yo-yo dieting to outpatient eating disorder recovery. I've pursued specialized training in eating disorder nutrition support, including somatic-informed approaches, to support my clients as fully as I can.
