Nutrition and Body Image Support That Honors Your Humanity
Inclusive, trauma-informed care rooted in nourishment, embodiment, and body trust.
Is this you?
Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed by the endless stream of advice about nutrition, wellness, longevity, fitness, and weight—and wondering how to separate meaningful science from fear, marketing, and misinformation.
Maybe you're ready to heal your relationship with food, movement, or your body after years of dieting, self-criticism, or trying to live by someone else's rules.
Or perhaps you simply want to care for your health in a way that feels sustainable, compassionate, and aligned with your values—without becoming consumed by tracking, guilt, or the pursuit of the "perfect" body.
At Body in Mind Nutrition, we believe nutrition care should help you live your life more fully—not make your body your life's project.
We take the time to understand your unique experiences, culture, identity, health concerns, strengths, and goals. We recognize that you are the expert on your own lived experience, and we partner with you to create an approach that honors both the science and your humanity.
Together, we'll build a relationship with food and your body, rooted in nourishment, trust, and self-respect—so you can spend less time worrying about your body and more time living the life you want.
How It Works
Your Initial Nutrition
Assessment
1
Your first appointment is an opportunity for us to get to know you—not just your nutrition concerns, but you as a whole person.
Together, we'll explore your health history, relationship with food and your body, eating patterns, movement, lifestyle, and any medical or emotional concerns that may be influencing your well-being. We'll also spend time understanding your values, strengths, goals, and the life experiences that have shaped the way you care for yourself today.
Our goal isn't to hand you a list of rules or tell you what you "should" do. It's to understand what matters to you and begin building a personalized plan that is evidence-based, compassionate, and sustainable.
We are committed to creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard. We move at your pace, with curiosity rather than judgment, recognizing that lasting change grows from understanding—not shame or perfection.
This first conversation is the beginning of a partnership. Together, we'll help you build a relationship with food and your body that supports your health, aligns with your values, and allows you to live your life more fully.
YOUR INDIVIDUALIZED
PLAN
2
No two people have the same story, so no two care plans should look alike.
We believe you are the expert on your own lived experience. Our role is to bring nutrition expertise, compassionate guidance, and evidence-based care, while partnering with you to better understand your body's needs, values, and goals.
Rather than prescribing rigid rules or simply telling you what to eat, we work collaboratively to create an approach that fits your life. Together, we'll build the knowledge, skills, and confidence to make food and self-care decisions from a place of nourishment, discernment, and self-respect—not fear, guilt, or perfectionism.
As your needs evolve, your care plan evolves with you. Our goal is to help you develop a flexible, sustainable relationship with food and your body that supports your health, honors your values, and allows you to live your life more fully.
COLLABORATIVE CARE
3
Lasting change is rarely something we achieve alone. Healing is strengthened through connection, support, and relationships that help us feel seen and understood.
Between sessions, we offer optional tools—including a secure, HIPAA-compliant journaling platform—to help you reflect, ask questions, and stay connected to your work if that feels supportive.
When appropriate and with your permission, we collaborate with physicians, therapists, psychiatrists, and other members of your healthcare team to ensure your care is coordinated and aligned with your goals. We also welcome the involvement of trusted family members or other support people when it serves your healing.
We recognize that our culture often leaves people feeling disconnected from their bodies and isolated in their struggles with food, movement, and body image. That's why we're committed to creating opportunities for connection beyond individual counseling. Through our groups, workshops, courses, and community offerings, we provide spaces where people can learn together, feel less alone, and discover that healing happens not only within ourselves, but in relationship with others.
Wherever you are in your journey, our goal is to ensure you feel supported—not just during your appointments, but throughout the process of building a more peaceful relationship with food, your body, and yourself.

“I have been a client of Body in Mind Nutrition several times over the years and have had a great experience each time. They are gracious and welcoming, willing to listen, and wise in their counsel. Folks often think of nutritionists as the "food police" - not at all! They listen, counsel, provide compassion, offer encouragement when things go well, and insight when you hit a bump in the road. I recommend them highly and without hesitation. They have taught me so much about living a whole and balanced life - not one focused on daily weigh-ins - but on all the joy life (and food) has to offer.” -SARA
