Are you looking for help with how to eat to help manage a current health condition or reduce your risk of a future one?
How would it will feel to:
- Know that you are making the right choices for YOU, even in the face of confusing, and sometimes even conflicting, health and nutrition information (and “opinions” from, well, everyone)?
- Make decisions about nutrition, physical activity and self-care that are driven by what satisfies you, brings you joy, feels good to your body and fits into your life?
- Be supported in focusing on behaviors, not the number on the scale, when it comes to health?
- Gain a deeper understanding of what factors contribute to your health concerns, including which ones you can’t control and which ones you can?
- Trust your body’s wisdom + the solid nutrition science, rather than falling for wellness influencers or trying to read between the lines when your doctor tosses out vague nutrition “advice” as they’re slipping out of the exam room at the end of your visit?
- Get a handle on which daily actions you should prioritize to meet your health goals (and which actions are “nice, but not necessary”)?
- Start to shed feelings of guilt or shame that you aren’t “doing enough” for your health?

What clients say:
“Carrie is non-judgmental and her ability to listen is exceptional.” — Carol T.
“From my work with Carrie, I now understand the wide breadth of what it means to have a healthy lifestyle.” — Miriam R.
“She has space for the tough issues, supported by her wealth of knowledge & expertise.” — Amanda F.
“Carrie has helped me lay the groundwork to have a healthy mind-body relationship and lifestyle.” — Naomi W.
“She is compassionate, empathetic, and understanding and I highly recommend her program.” — Nikki F.
“I was floundering with conflicting health information and experiencing an increase in various health concerns. During my work with Carrie, I learned to trust myself, challenge my self-critical thinking and stop trying to control and structure my eating and exercise in a way that did not make me feel good physically or psychologically.”
“Carrie helped me understand so much more about myself, and my health — way beyond food and exercise. Thanks to Carrie’s educational resources and gentle input, my understanding of whole body, whole person health has evolved to a place where I feel more at peace with myself. Now I know how to eat well for me…I like this evolved version of myself because I spend far less time focusing on rigid food and exercise requirements. Instead, I invest my energy in being present, enjoying time with my family, and connecting with my friends.”
What’s included (the nuts & bolts)?
Initial Session (75 minutes)
In this video or phone session, we’ll take a deep dive into…
- Your personal and family health history…
- Your current eating patterns and self-care habits…
- Your current and past social and family environments…
…and how they have influenced your health and your relationship with food today. You will leave with a better understanding of yourself, as well as initial steps to help you start creating a healthier, more balanced relationship with nutrition and self-care.
3, 5, or 7 Follow-Up Sessions (45 minutes, every other week)
We’ll meet every other week to continue exploring your food and health history as I help you build sustainable new habits, unpack limiting beliefs, replace self-judgment with curiosity and self-compassion, and take practical steps towards better self-care. We can …
- Continue a discussion from the previous session, or we can …
- Talk about something else you want to learn or are struggling with.
Ultimately, you are in charge.
Before each follow up you will fill out a quick check-in form online. This allows you to reflect on your successes and challenges — and allows me to tailor our upcoming session to support you!
After each session, I’ll send you personalized recommendations based on our discussion.
Support Between Sessions
Most of your life happens between sessions, and consistent support is so important in helping you reach your health goals.
That’s why you’ll have access to me outside of our sessions via chat messaging to support you through any questions or challenges that come up, no matter where you are or what you’re doing, thanks to the free smartphone app that comes with this program!
Examples of reasons you might need support between sessions:
- You need to vent about comments from a loved one about your eating habits.
- You’re nervous about an upcoming doctor’s visit or lab work.
- You’re experiencing feelings of deprivation with your new way of eating.
- You want to share an “aha!” moment or a win.
- You have a question.
- Or…you just need a little encouragement (I’m totally willing to be the cheerleader in your back pocket…literally, if that’s where you keep your phone!).
You’ll also have access to an (optional) online food & mood journal, and if it’s helpful to you, I can offer feedback and suggestions.
BONUS: My book, mailed to your doorstep
To help support the work we’re doing in our sessions, if you sign up for my 4-month Nutrition Counseling package, as a “thank you” I’ll send you the new, revised, updated and expanded version of my book, “Healthy For Your Life: A Non-Diet Approach to Optimal Well-Being.”

My Approach & Philosophy
I am a weight-inclusive, anti-diet dietitian who is trauma-, social justice- and Health At Every Size-informed. I believe that all bodies are worthy of care and respect, just as they are. As a certified Intuitive Eating counselor and a licensed Be Body Positive facilitator, I aim to help you feel more confident and empowered, and to help you break free of food and body obsession — and opression. I see my role as a guide, facilitator and sounding board, because YOU are the ultimate expert on yourself. I’ll collaborate with you to develop an individualized plan for nourishing yourself with food and self-care while providing a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment for you to talk about your food and body concerns.
