Our Philosophy
We are a team of Registered Dietitians here to help guide you towards a more peaceful and sustainable relationship with food. By helping you learn to trust your body again, we empower you to reject diet culture and nourish your bodies with confidence. We specialize in disordered eating and eating disorders, as well as feeding difficulties and certain health conditions such as PCOS, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, thyroid issues, fertility, and some GI issues.
What We Believe.
We believe that there’s no such thing as someone who is unmotivated, bad, or lazy. We believe that what stands in the way of making the changes you want are blocks - emotional or practical - or unconscious negative beliefs. We work with you to identify what is getting in the way so that you can live the life you want to live. We know that eating and being in your body or listening to your body cues can sometimes feel inaccessible or unsafe. We also know that reaching your goals with health and wellbeing can feel overwhelming. Our dietitians know how to guide you to feeling at home in your body again so you can find a way of living that helps you feel your best.
How We Work.
We use a variety of non-diet, weight-inclusive approaches to help you heal your relationship with food and build trust with your bodies. We focus on helping you develop health-promoting behavioral changes in a flexible, sustainable way. We use a holistic, individual approach that prioritizes physical and mental well being. We use intrinsic measures of progress, such as increased flexibility with food and being able to enjoy eating with others. We believe in an “all foods fit” approach.
We are HAES informed.
The Association for Size Diversity and Health (ASDAH) affirms health exists on a continuum that varies with time and circumstance for each individual. Health should be conceived as a resource or capacity available to all regardless of health condition or ability level, and not as an outcome or objective of living. If you’d like to learn more about what a Health at Every Size approach means, please visit the ASDAH website: asdah.org/
All Bodies are Good Bodies.
Body image is a layered experience. How we experience our bodies is informed by culture, the environment we grew up in, our current environment, trauma, and is also a subconscious outlet for our internal emotional experience. This last piece - the body as an outlet for our emotions - is why we experience our body differently day to day. It isn’t because there’s something wrong with our body. It’s because there’s a difficult emotional experience that’s looking for an outlet. How we experience our body is telling the story of what it’s been like, what it’s like to be us. And our bodies will tell that story in many different ways, as long as it needs to be heard. At Mindful Eats Nutrition, we work with you to uncover all of the layers of your own body story so that you can find a way to connect with yourself in a more loving or neutral way. You deserve to feel at home in your body.
We meet you where you are.
We are here to listen and co-create with you a plan to reach your goals. We believe you are the expert on yourself, your experience, and your body. Your needs and desires set the agenda. We personalize our care based on your life, goals, and personality. We are here to lovingly guide you and provide expertise along the way.
We help you make changes that last.
We work with you on long-term, sustainable behavior change. Extremes don’t work long-term and often worsen your sense of self. We use evidence-based nutrition and therapeutic strategies to help you create a way of eating and living that works best for you.
What do we not do:
We do not prescribe restrictive diets, programs, resets, or diet/meal plans. We do not provide on-size-fits-all programs or promote intentional weight loss. We do help get back in touch with body cues of hunger, fullness, cravings, and types of food that feel best. We also help you create structure around meals and snacks, help with meal planning/grocery planning, and process the history of your relationship with food.
