Eating intuitively should come naturally, We all did this as young children. However, there are so many barriers in eating, both internally and externally.
discovery call
Are you ready to find more satisfaction with food and love your body again? Let’s start with a free discovery call.
Schedule a 15 minute call with me and we can have a short conversation to see what your needs are and if this type of counseling could be a great fit for you.
As your guiding professional I hold you accountable during visits and use validated tools in my practice to ensure your success.
The path to your success is never a straight line. We move forward as progress, not perfection.
“Kristen is very professional, intuitive and uses a holistic approach to cater to your individual needs. She is full of information and cares about your success. ”
New Client a la carte
If your insurance isn’t one that I accept, you can still work with me through my self-pay option. These a la carte sessions are designed to give you the same compassionate, individualized care and guidance at your own pace.
We’ll start with an initial nutrition session where we’ll explore your health history, relationship with food, and goals together. From there, you can schedule 50-minute follow-up sessions, either in person or virtually, to continue building confidence and clarity in your eating journey.
If you’d like, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
Insurance Coverage
This may be one time you look forward to talking to your insurance company! Insurance policies do a good job of covering preventative care including nutrition visits.
I am credentialed with most BCBS and AETNA plans, meaning if I am in-network with your plan I will file for you. Many of these plans have no copay!
If I am out of network or you have another provider you may request a Superbill to file on your own.

I see my clients one-on-one in my Charlotte office or virtually. I blend my background of medical nutrition therapy and the more holistic intuitive nutrition counseling approach to develop specific goals for EACH client I see. Goodbye plastic food models and nutrition label reading classes, let’s set goals that help you feel better, sustainably.
“As a runner herself, Kristen really understands how unique a runner’s nutritional journey can be. She guided me in figuring out my nutritional issues in training and racing half marathons all the way up to my 100 mile race. Can’t recommend her enough! ”
Eating Disorders
Healing your relationship with food takes time, compassion, and the right support. I provide nutrition counseling for individuals age 14 and older who are navigating eating disorders or disordered eating.
My approach is collaborative and gentle — I work closely with your care team (therapist, physician, parents or psychiatrist) to ensure your treatment is well-coordinated and aligned with your recovery goals. Together, we’ll focus on rebuilding trust with your body, restoring nourishment, and supporting a more peaceful relationship with food.
Sessions are offered in person or virtually, depending on your needs and comfort.
Female Nutrition
The female body does amazing things! We are just scratching the surface on what makes our needs so specific and unique.
• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome • Gestational Diabetes
• Perimenopause • Menopause • General Nutrition
Nutrition changes have a positive impact on all of these seasons of life. This can all be introduced in an intuitive approach.
Every client’s needs are specific. We typically start with an initial session and follow up weekly. If indicated, hormone and nutrient testing is available upon request (DUTCH).
It is recommended, for accountability, that patients start off with the the new client package and we set follow ups in appropriate intervals after the first month.
