Feeling Full

My name is Cate and I am Registered Dietitian and have been in the field of nutrition for almost a decade. I have worked on organic farms, in hospitals, holistic health centers, nursing homes, and food pantries. I have supported newborn infants, professional athletes, people with eating disorders, and folks receiving hospice care.

If there is one thing I want people to know about nutrition, its that there is no one-size fits all approach. Health looks and feels really different for everyone. My mission is to help people find true well-being and return to finding JOY in eating.

Populations I enjoy working with:

Infants, children, and adolescents
Prenatal, postpartum, and breastfeeding people
People with disordered eating, eating disorders or in eating disorder recovery
Folks struggling with their relationship to food and their bodies, or those who identify as emotional eaters.
Those looking for general nutrition support and education
People looking for support in using nutrition to help manage chronic medical conditions, especially those with autoimmune conditions or those in cancer survivorship who are looking for evidence-based support.
