About

Welcome! I’m Stephanie.

I'm a dietitian who believes that food can be a source of nourishment and care—not stress or shame.

I help women let go of diets, prioritize their health in ways that feel authentic, and build sustainable habits that work for their unique lives.

Like so many of my clients, I know what it’s like to feel caught in the cycle of dieting and self-doubt. I’ve seen how cultural pressures, conflicting health advice, and life’s transitions—like motherhood—can make it feel impossible to prioritize yourself.

That’s why I’ve dedicated my practice to helping women break free from the noise and reconnect with their bodies. With a compassionate, evidence-based approach, I provide tools and support to help you create lasting change on your terms.
