Registered and Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist

Jane is a Registered and Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist (RDN/LDN). She works with adolescents, adults, and families to find peaceful relationships with food, and to discover (or rediscover) eating to nurture the body. As a new mom, she has a special interest in postpartum body image and nutrition, as well as coaching for raising an intuitive eater.

Jane integrates sound nutrition science with the principles of intuitive eating in her approach to support you in finding harmony with nourishing and moving your body. She originally pursued nutrition to share her love for cooking and good food to sustain a full and active life, which has lead to several formative experiences including FoodCorps, Choctaw Indian Reservation, and Edible Schoolyard of New Orleans. As a FoodCorps service member in her home state of Mississippi, Jane worked with multiple schools and local organizations to foster a communal joy for food grown and prepared themselves. Jane came to Winston-Salem in 2016 from Minneapolis, MN, where she completed her Masters of Public Health (MPH). She has been providing nutrition therapy specialized in Eating Disorders and disordered eating with Body In Mind Nutrition since 2019. She is committed to building a partnership based on trust and compassion as she works with you to cultivate a fulfilling relationship with body and food within a Health at Every Size philosophy.

Jane lives in Winston-Salem with her husband, their young daughter and lively beagle. She enjoys making ice cream and is currently learning to sew and play banjo.

MS, RDN, LDN

Andrea (she/her) is passionate about joining you in your journey to a gentler relationship with food, exercise, and your body. She completed a bachelor’s degree in Cultural Anthropology at Vanguard University and earned a master’s degree in Nutritional Science from California State University, Los Angeles. Over the past 3 years, Andrea has continued to seek specialized training in eating disorders, disordered eating, chronic dieting, and weight-neutral medical nutrition therapy. She recognizes that continuing education is imperative. She is currently enrolled in a Family Based Treatment (FBT) course, and will later enroll in a Neurodiversity-Affirming course for dietitians. Through this, she has realized that the process of learning also requires unlearning, which is something she encourages in her work with clients as appropriate.

She is committed to providing collaborative, trauma-informed, and Health at Every Size®-aligned treatment. Andrea strives to get to know each of her clients to co-create treatment goals that honor the client’s cultural background, lived experience, and resources. She believes in a whole-person approach to nutrition counseling and one that is inclusive of all bodies and identities.

Outside of work, Andrea enjoys playing with her Golden Retriever (Ludo), piddling in the garden, and planning her next adventure.
