Nutritional Counseling

“It felt impossible to believe that “all bodies are good bodies” when I was suffering from an active eating disorder. Despite all my skepticism and the overwhelming odds, the team at Nourishment Works helped me truly internalize this belief. I can say from experience now that there is a whole world beyond obsessing over food, and it’s better than I ever could have imagined when I was sick. My eating disorder led me to think that a “perfect” body was all I needed to finally enjoy life, but my providers at Nourishment Works taught me how to accept (and even love!) my body while releasing my negative self-image. ”
Individual Sessions
An individual nutritional session involves a supportive, safe and brave setting for exploring and inspiring a new way to nourish yourself and navigate your food environment.
The first meeting is generally an hour with follow-up visits as needed. Together, we will do the work it takes to develop a path that suits your individual personal care goals. As part of our work together, homework assignments may be offered to expand your learning.

Diabetes care and management from a weight neutral approach

Cooking Classes
“I have always felt a pull towards nourishing and delicious foods. Cooking has been a hobby of mine since childhood. I have had formal training in constructing meals, however, I am not a trained chef. My love of food, nutrition and cooking inspired me to become a dietitian. I have found the entire process, from gathering the ingredients to doing the dishes, to be an enjoyable and connecting series of steps. I invite you to join me in taking a mindful walk through each step. Contact me should you want to schedule a cooking party or join me for a cooking class. Request a cooking class for family celebrations, holidays, gifts, or work site wellness.” ~Kate
