Practice Philosophy

We offer:

  • A non-judgmental space to learn about what your body needs and the support to help you reach your goals

  • Individualized care plans for every client (no one-size-fits-all plans here!)

  • The time to truly listen to you and craft a plan for you that is sustainable

  • A Functional Medicine Approach to Nutrition Care

Rachel is a Board Certified and State Licensed Dietitian-Nutritionist with 10 years of experience. She takes a root-cause approach to supporting you as a whole person, not just addressing symptoms.
