Hungry for a more balanced, liberated approach to nutrition, health and well-being? You’re in the right place!
Hi, I’m Carrie Dennett
I’m a weight-inclusive registered dietitian, nutrition therapist and body image counselor. You may also know me from my regular nutrition columns in The Seattle Times. I help adults of all ages, shapes, sizes and genders who want to break free from disordered eating or chronic dieting, learn how to manage IBS symptoms with food, or improve their nutrition and lifestyle habits to help manage a current health concern or simply support their overall health and well-being.
I offer you a compassionate, empathetic space to start exploring conflicted feelings about food and body image or face fears that you aren’t doing “enough” to be healthy. My approach is both holistic and grounded in science, and considers you as a unique, multi-faceted human.

End the guesswork about how to eat
Through my virtual nutrition therapy practice, I help adults in Washington, the Pacific Northwest, and across the country who are struggling to find a clear answer to the question, “What should I be eating?” for their individual stage of life, health condition, or wellness goals, while also addressing any obstacles to a calm, balanced mindset about food and eating. Nutrition isn’t just about what you eat, it’s about why you eat.
Nutrition isn’t just about healthier food…it’s about a healthier relationship with food.
How can I help you?
As a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN), I help adults of all ages who want to care for themselves in more effective, meaningful ways. Whether you’re looking for a more peaceful, less angsty relationship with food, a resolution to symptoms (and food fears) of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and accompanying food fears, or help with other nutrition and health challenges, I’m here for you.
Areas I specialize in include:
- Disordered eating and chronic dieting
- Binge eating disorder
- Orthorexia
- Maintaining eating disorder recovery
- Body image concerns
- Women’s health (including preconception, fertility, perimenopause, post-menopause and bone health)
- Digestive health (including irritable bowel syndrome, aka IBS)
- Cardiovascular health (including high blood pressure and high cholesterol)
- Prediabetes
- Cancer prevention and survivorship
- Balanced eating and meal planning
Health and well-being are multi-faceted
They don’t look the same for every person, and there’s no one right path to follow on your journey.
You are the expert on you, because only you have lived in your body and had your life experiences. As your nutrition therapist, I’m here to be your guide, to listen, to understand, to ask questions, to help you expand your awareness and curiosity while setting self-judgment aside. All of this can help you:
- Start to release yourself from rigid or manic food beliefs and food rules.
- Cultivate ways of eating and moving that feel right for you.
- Learn how to nourish yourself, mind, body and soul.
- Rewrite your story (including a happier ending).

There’s no right way to have a body. There’s no single path to health and well-being.

Not sure? I know this can be hard.
I’ve had clients crying in our sessions because they felt like they “should be able to figure out nutrition” on their own. I remember one woman telling me, “I’m smart, I’m educated, I run my own business…why can’t I figure out how to eat?”
My clients are smart people, and they’re successful in life. They’ve raised humans from birth to adulthood, or they’ve earned advanced degrees, or they give back to their communities, or they’ve reached big heights in their chosen career, or their feisty entrepreneurs (sometimes all of the above. I’ve had physicians and psychologists as clients.
Sometimes the food thing just feels really, really hard. And there is zero shame in asking for help to figure it out.
Look at it this way — most of us drive, but do all drivers know how to fix their own cars? Of course they don’t (especially modern cars with all their electronics). Similarly, we all eat, but confusing and conflicting messages in today’s modern media landscape make it hard to sort through the nonsense to find the nuggets of truth that are actually helpful to you as an individual. And if you have a messy relationship with food thanks to experiences in your childhood, adolescent or younger adult years, it’s even harder to figure out things on your own.
