We take pride in our effort to continuously read the latest research, participate in trainings and continuing educational programing.

Our group of five registered dietitians share extra certifications in diabetes, insulin resistance, polycystic ovary syndrome and continuous glucose monitoring known as Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists. We are cis women, some mothers, too, who also specialize in the prevention and treatment of feeding and eating disorders. We either hold or are presently training to be Certified Eating Disorder Specialists and Supervisors through the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals. Eating is a complex interplay of all systems and thus needs the expertise of team who listens to each person’s unique story with feeding and eating from the womb through adulthood. We recognize that eating is the only behavior that utilizes all 11 bodily systems and all 8 sensory systems.
This may be the storyline that leads to an eating disorder, the quest for more knowledge related to fueling and sports or the gastrointestinal challenges faced by an individual with Elhers Danlos Syndrome and or Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders.
We understand eating is a learned behavior and not necessarily instinctive after 4 to 6 months of age. The prevention of eating disorders starts in the womb. We can work with you during pregnancy to help develop a healthy microbiome, prevent food allergies and then post-delivery with feeding your baby and introducing new foods. We have been hired to teach baby food making in the home. Prevention of eating disorders ensues with teaching new parents how and what to feed their babies. Our goal is to help you raise healthy and happy eaters while guiding you, the parents, to separate out your own food and body anxieties.
We are trained in the Sequential Oral Sensory Approach to feeding and eating as developed by Dr. Kay Toomey. This helps our RDs help families addresses picky eating versus pediatric feeding disorders versus avoidant restrictive intake disorders. As RDs counseling children thru adulthood, we are aware children with selective eating don’t easily outgrow their learned associations with food. Often, there is a cooccurring medical diagnosis and or neurodevelopmental diagnosis that affects eating.
We are your team if you have a gastrointestinal issue that may need a lower histamine or lower mast cell activation diet, if need sports nutrition and hydration education, if you would benefit from nutrition counseling for anorexia or binge eating with additional knowledge of the orthodox community or want guidance with a CGM for insulin resistance experienced after menopause. Expect a wholistic approach with regular collaboration between your physicians, psychologist and perhaps even your child’s school. Working with one of our RD’s is an interactive experience led with compassion, free from judgment. We hope to be your partner on your unique journey to EATING KALE AND CUPCAKES.
