Nutrition Counseling

Support for your relationship with food

Weight-inclusive, somatic-informed nutrition counseling, with optional plant-forward guidance, if that feels right for you.

My Approach

Weight-inclusive, always

We'll explore your relationship with food and body. I'll never suggest intentional weight loss.

An embodied practice

Over time, we build toward reconnecting with your body. We go at a pace that feels safe.

Plant-based informed, never required

Guidance around plant-based eating is included if you choose it.

What we can work on together

1. Gentle nutrition: We often start by rebuilding consistent, balanced, satisfying eating. This is the foundation everything else is built on.

2. Making peace with food: From there, we can work through the diet-culture noise itself, reconnecting with your hunger, fullness, and satisfaction, and getting curious about any foods that feel "off-limits."

3. Deeper embodiment and attunement: With a steady foundation, we can explore mindful self-care and a more attuned relationship with your body.

This is slow and deeply impactful work. We'll continue meeting as long as our sessions feel supportive to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Adults who are done with short-term solutions and ready to understand what's actually keeping them stuck. My clients come from different starting points: some have been yo-yo dieting for years and are exhausted by it, some are dealing with binge eating, emotional eating, or stress eating, and some are in recovery from an eating disorder or disordered eating and need support that is explicitly weight-inclusive. You don't need a diagnosis to work with me, and you don't need to have it all figured out before you reach out.

Most clients work with me for several months. It's not a requirement, but real change takes time, and I like to be honest about that upfront. How long makes sense depends on your history, your goals, and how the work unfolds, not a predetermined timeline.

That depends on what you need and what's realistic for your life. Some clients meet weekly, especially early on. Others move to biweekly or monthly as things settle. We decide together and adjust as things shift.

Sessions are held over video call through Healthie, my secure Telehealth platform. If video calls aren't something you're used to, just let me know, and I'll walk you through it.

I'm available between sessions for messaging support, and I'll often share worksheets or resources when they're useful for what we're working on.

I'm private pay only. Superbills (medical receipts for potential out-of-network reimbursement) are available, though eligibility can depend on your state's licensure requirements for dietitians. It's worth contacting your insurance company directly to find out what your plan covers. They'll be able to confirm based on where you live. HSA and FSA payments are accepted, and a sliding scale may be available if cost is a barrier. Feel free to reach out to discuss options.

Fill out the contact form or reach me directly at steph@gratefulgrazer.com, and I'll get back to you within one business day. Let me know a bit about what you're looking for and the state where you're located, and we'll go from there.
