I'm here to help you move forward into a place of peace with your relationship with food and you're body. If you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or asked to follow a rigid diet before — you’re not alone.

Hi! I'm Chelsea. If you've landed here, there's a good chance that food has felt more stressful than peaceful at some point and I want you to know that makes a lot of sense. Navigating food, health, and body in today's world can feel like rocky terrain. Maybe eating has just felt harder than it should, tangled up in noise from the outside world and a whole lot of conflicting information about what you're supposed to do. Whether you’re navigating disordered eating, digestive concerns like IBS, hormonal conditions such as PCOS or endometriosis, a complicated relationship with your body (or some combination of the above), you’re in the right place.

Hi! I’m Grace, and I’m so glad you’re here. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself. I love getting to know your story—your goals, your lifestyle, and your past experiences—so we can find an approach that actually works for you.

Hi friend, welcome! I am so happy you're here & proud of you for taking this step. Navigating your relationship with food, body image, and movement starts with finding a dietitian you feel safe with. You deserve to be heard every step of the way and feel comfortable asking questions without judgment. Think of me as your shotgun passenger, working together with you to steer away from diet culture and reconnect with your body.

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a background in Eating Disorders, mental health disorders, sports nutrition/dance nutrition, food allergies and gastrointestinal disorders. I provide individualized care to better support each person and build a sense of security and confidence in their relationship with food and their bodies. I practice from an "all foods fit" and weight neutral lens with a focus on mindful and intuitive eating rather than restrictive dieting. I have worked in various levels of care for eating disorders and mental health support throughout the greater Los Angeles area. I approach care from a weight neutral, non-diet, client centered lens. I work closely with individuals to ensure that they are moving at a pace that works well for them and recognize that everyone has differing needs and preferences when it comes to their care. I focus on compassionate care through a research-based lens. I aim to ensure that each individual whom I work with feels like they are heard and have the space to be open about challenges that may arise and celebrate the successes in our work together.

Hi there! I'm Laura, and I'm here to help you feel more at ease around food and your body — especially if eating has started to feel overwhelming, stressful, or tangled up with your mental health. You might be navigating recovery, chronic dieting, or simply feeling stuck in cycles that don't feel good anymore. My goal is to help you build a steadier, more trusting relationship with food that supports both your physical and emotional well-being. I've spent the last decade working in mental health settings and eating disorder treatment, supporting people through everything from active recovery to long-standing patterns of disordered eating and chronic dieting. That experience means you're met with nuance, not assumptions. Whether you're working through an eating disorder, trying to untangle food from anxiety or depression, or looking for nutrition support that actually feels sustainable, you'll receive care that's thoughtful, evidence-based, and compassionate. My approach is collaborative, structured, and nonjudgmental. We'll work together to move away from rigid food rules, rebuild trust with your body, and create nutrition strategies that fit your real life — not an idealized version of it. You can expect sessions that feel supportive and grounding, while still helping you make meaningful progress. I want you to leave our work together feeling more confident, more regulated, and less alone in the process.

Hi, my name is Megan! I'm passionate about empowering individuals on their journey to better health, a more peaceful relationship with food, and body acceptance. I have Bachelor's Degrees in Food and Nutrition and Psychology, allowing me to bring a unique blend of nutritional expertise and understanding of human behavior to my practice. Prior to focusing on nutrition counseling, I honed my skills at a start-up telehealth company, contributing to the development of an innovative app designed to support clients with diverse health concerns. Driven by a desire to connect with clients on a more personal level, I transitioned to nutrition counseling to provide individualized support and guidance. I love celebrating your wins and navigating the challenges with you. You can rely on me to offer unwavering support, accountability, and valuable education to empower you in making informed health choices. My goal is for you to walk away empowered and informed, not dejected and confused. Beyond my professional endeavors, I find joy in spending time with my kids and husband, cheering on our favorite hockey and football teams, indulging in podcasts, nurturing my garden (indoor and outdoor!), and diving into the pages of mystery novels. With my holistic approach and genuine commitment to your well-being, I am ready to help you achieve your health goals and thrive!

I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders and have over 10 years of experience doing so. I welcome all eating disorder diagnoses or concerns of disordered eating. I welcome all gender expressions, LGBTQIA+, adults of any age, and adolescents with their families. I am passionate about helping people heal their relationship with food, exercise, and their bodies. I know that seeking support and trusting a provider with your struggles can be very difficult; I hold that trust sacred. One of my favorite things about this work is seeing people reach the point in recovery when they say, 'I finally have freedom.' I also enjoy helping people with diabetes feel more empowered to manage their blood sugars, without a focus on weight or weight loss, or 'good' or 'bad' foods. We work together to find the changes that are going to be most doable and most helpful in your life based on your individual needs. I look forward to working with you!
