Rooted in the intuitive eating and weight-neutral framework, she is honored to provide nutrition counseling for adults with reproductive, pregnancy, and fertility needs, as well as assist in the treatment and prevention of chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease. Stephanie believes nutrition can be enjoyable, flexible, balanced, sustainable, and body-honoring.

Your first session with Stephanie

Your first session is all about you! (And honestly, every session is all about you!) I will encourage you to share about what's important to you, and the factors you feel are leading you to seek input and support from a dietitian. I will ask about your health history, food intake, various aspects of your current health (sleep, stress, lifestyle, for example), and a typical day in your life - with lots of questions in between. I truly seek to understand as best as possible what your priorities are and how we can develop a roadmap together to assist you in reaching your goals.
