Hi, I’m Rachel—another of the four Rachel’s here at Balanced Nutrition. I have been a Registered Dietitian for 20 years and I love helping clients find freedom from disordered or harmful thoughts and behaviors surrounding food and eating. When I am not seeing my clients, I am the director of internship programming at Balanced for future dietitians. I am a wife, as well as a mother, to two human children, and two fur babies. In my time away from Balanced, I love reading, being with friends, or grabbing coffee at any one of the fun places around the office. A fun fact about me is that I have a donut tattoo!
Areas of Specialty
I feel privileged to be able to support my clients with their struggles and successes with food and body image. I have experience in the higher level of care setting with both teens and adults and specialize in eating disorders, as well as being a certified ARFID provider.
Nutrition Philosophy
I believe in food flexibility, using a Health at Every size approach to nutrition, and supporting my clients throughout their recovery!
