I am an anti-diet dietitian looking to empower patients through nutrition.

Along my personal and professional journey, I have seen patients and friends struggle with diet culture-- but I think that we all do at some level. I believe we are all born intuitive eaters, and in order to return to this, we must heal from the messages thrown our way by diet culture and remember how to trust our own instincts and experiences.

In my practice, I believe in celebrating the little victories on the way to finding comfort and trust with your body and self-compassion throughout this process. I enjoy getting to know my clients and supporting them as individuals with a focus on both safety and well-being.

My specialty and passion is treatment of eating disorders and disordered eating. I work with all ages and genders using evidence-based approaches including family-based therapy and intuitive eating.

Conditions I help to treat with medical nutrition therapy include:

-Anorexia nervosa

-Bulimia nervosa

-Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder

-Binge eating disorder

-Compulsive eating

-Chronic dieting

-Irritable bowel syndrome & Irritable bowel diseases

-Celiac Disease

-Bachelor’s degree in biology from Saint Michael’s College

-Master’s degree in nutrition from University of Massachusetts, Amherst

-Dietetic internship at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA

During my dietetic internship, I nurtured a love for GI nutrition and have seen that for those with GI disorders, intuitive eating practices can be integral to finding peace with food as well. I also have experience as a GI dietitian, where my main focus was providing patients with tools and support needed to stay safe and nourished.

“Lauren helped me to feel safe and capable in my recovery process.”

“Our family appreciated Lauren’s sweet but professional approach guiding us through treatment for our daughter.”

“Lauren is always so kind, comforting, and knowledgeable. She has been a consistent presence in my recovery. She is a lovely soul and goes above and beyond for her patients.”

My favorite pastimes are playing and going on nature walks with my rescue dog and office companion, Mia; horseback riding; and spending time with family and friends.
