Beyond generic advice

You've probably received plenty of well-meaning but oversimplified advice about managing your condition.

"Just follow this diet" or "avoid these foods" – as if managing your health were that straightforward.

The truth? Every body is different, and you need personalized support that works for YOUR life and YOUR needs.

We offer two core ways to support you

Medical Nutrition Therapy

If you're managing diabetes, heart health concerns, digestive issues, or recovering from disordered eating, you need more than just a meal plan.

You need an expert who understands both the science and the human side of nutrition.

We'll work together to develop practical strategies that help you manage your health without turning your life upside down. And yes, we accept insurance for these sessions.

Intuitive Eating Support

Tired of food rules controlling your life? Intuitive eating coaching helps you rebuild trust with your body and find satisfaction in eating again.

We'll translate the science into real-life solutions that work for you.

This isn't about following another set of rules – it's about learning to navigate food and health in a way that actually feels good. Many clients combine this with medical nutrition therapy for comprehensive support.

How it works

Introduction Call

These calls are available if we need to chat for 15 minutes to make sure we're a good fit.

This introduction call is completely free and gives you a chance to ask questions.

Initial Session

If we move forward, your first session will be a thorough 60-minute assessment where we really get to know your history, concerns, and goals.

From there, we'll develop a personalized approach that works for your life.

Where are sessions

We offer both virtual and in-person sessions at our Providence and Cranston offices.

Most clients start with bi-weekly sessions and adjust as needed.

Our approach

We provide evidence-based, non-shaming nutrition counseling that honors your body's wisdom while helping you manage health concerns.

Our approach is unique to each person because we know that nutrition needs are individual—only you know what feels best for your body.

Improve Health Markers

Work with experts who understand the complex relationship between nutrition and your medical condition. See meaningful improvements in your lab values and health markers.

Gain Practical Strategies

Learn realistic ways to manage your condition without extreme restrictions. Get meal planning tools, shopping guides, and recipe ideas that make healthy eating easier.

Build Confidence

Develop the knowledge and skills to navigate your health condition with confidence. Feel empowered to make informed food choices that support your medical needs.

Client testimonials

What our clients are saying

"Working with Lindsay aided me in my recovery (from an eating disorder) a great deal. 

As a busy professional and picky eater, she offered me realistic approaches to my nutrition.

Lindsay created an environment in which I felt comfortable sharing my struggles and celebrating my successes. 

She never judged my choices; she only helped me to learn and grow from them.   I am able to reflect on my time with Lindsay and employ the tools and knowledge I gained, and continue to get stronger each day."

- S.C. Rhode Island 

I have worked with Lindsay over the past few years and I can't express how much she has helped me and continues to help me.

As a sufferer from IBS, Lindsay has taught me how to cope and work to feel my best. I enjoy her mindful approach along with her scientific knowledge.

Lindsay is completely in my corner and through her support, even outside of my appointments, helps me stay on the path to a happier, healthier me.

- M.N. North Kingstown, RI

I weighed 335 lbs, had an A1c of 7.3 and my sugar (glucose) was over 200mg/dL. In over 15 months since seeing Lindsay my weight is now at 238 lbs, my A1c is 5.6% and my sugar is under 100mg/dL.

I give Lindsay a lot of credit for my turnaround.

She calmed me down when I first went to see her when my numbers were high. She gave me great, practical advice to straighten my health out and talked to me like a real person and as an equal.

Lindsay make you feel comfortable and will give you all the encouragement you need to turn your health around and to keep your health sounds and strong and succeed.

Your first session is the time we take to really get to know you and your experience with eating thus far.

We ask a lot of questions such as: what brings you to see us?

We also like to make sure we understand your medical history and any current conditions/symptoms you are managing.

Since eating behaviors go far beyond just nutrients, we will explore social, cultural, financial, and emotional factors that may have or still impact the way you feed yourself.

If time allows, we can provide some initial education and or discuss some action steps at an initial appointment. Often, we gather data about our client through several sessions.

Through follow up sessions we will together identify barriers and discuss changes you may want to consider making that will get you on a path to feeling good.

All of our dietitians do both!
