You Deserve the Best Nutrition Therapy Approach During Your Journey to Recovery
No matter the depth of your story, we are there with you, showing compassion and ensuring you never feel judged.
Let’s Dive Into The Heart of Our Nutrition Therapy Approach
We know eating disorders cause you many issues, some of the most common being: body image issues, anxiety & depression, disordered eating, and gastrointestinal discomfort. We’ve developed an approach that helps you heal in all areas…physically, spiritually, and emotionally. And we tailor it specifically to YOU.
Believe it or not, you can’t see an eating disorder
A lot of people think you can spot an eating disorder by someone’s weight, physical features, or their eating behaviors. But you actually cannot see an eating disorder. You see, because we have our own unique struggles, eating disorders exist on a spectrum…but no matter where you fall on it, they are all damaging to your mind, body, and soul.
Eating disorders can affect you no matter what you look like, how much money you have, or how successful you are. And no matter your identity or the depth of your disorder, you deserve accessible and affordable care.
An Intuitive Eating Approach Just For You
Treatment for an eating disorder is not one size fits all. Your life story, your emotions, and your struggle deserves a strategic approach that perfectly meets you where you are. Your path to intuitive eating will be different than someone else’s and that’s why we have experienced clinicians present to guide you through your journey to inner peace and a healthy lifestyle.
Health At Every Size
We believe in Health At Every Size (HAES). This principle essentially means that we celebrate body diversity and we honor differences in size, age, race, ethnicity, gender, and other human attributes. We believe in challenging cultural assumptions and placing value on body knowledge and lived experiences.
HAES encompasses compassionate self-care and helps you find joy in moving your body and being physically active. Through a HAES approach, we teach eating in a flexible manner that values pleasure and honors internal cues of hunger and appetite while also respecting societal conditions. It is intended to lessen the cultural obsession with weight loss and thinness. You deserve respectful care and we are committed to ensuring you receive it.
We don’t focus on weight loss
Before you get confused, let us explain. We believe focusing on weight alone does not change your life for the better. As a weight-neutral practice, our focus is on real body image and teaching you to be nutrition focused, which is the heart of a healthy lifestyle. Each of our bodies have a weight it performs best at. When we are nutrition focused and have inner peace, we will naturally attain that weight while being our most intuitive selves.
While we will never prescribe weight loss, we will focus on improving your nutrition so you feel your absolute best.
Total Care
We believe you deserve help every step of the way to have a successful recovery. Most eating disorders and disordered eating coexist with other mental and physical health issues.. Because of this, we offer collaboration with multiple specialists such as psychiatrists, therapists, dietitians, and medical doctors to ensure you receive total care through your recovery. Because all aspects are important in your healing, we will always refer out to incredible eating disorder informed/HAES providers when needed.
Holistic Care
The largest aspect of an eating disorder comes from within. Deeply rooted beliefs and many emotional webs accelerate an eating disorder. But a beautiful side to that is that we truly believe we have the power to heal ourselves from the inside out. Our focus is on your whole body and soul, not just the food choices you make..it is so much deeper than your food choices.
As registered dietitians who practice medical nutrition therapy, we want to take you through a journey of food being more than connection, traditions and culture. We want to use evidenced based research to teach you how good nutrition can actually help heal your body.

TESTIMONIALS
Working with Alexa has been so positive for my relationship to food and overall wellness—mental, physical, emotional. After a period of restriction, then excess, then happy normalization, I found myself newly struggling with food due to new life circumstances. I reached out to Alexa and she scheduled a 15-minute intro call right away. I liked her approach and we started meeting every week, where I share how my relationship with food has been going, when/what I am eating, and how my week as in general. She is a wonderful listener, active and present, clearly focused on about what you have to say. She takes notes and then asks questions and we work out strategies to improve my nourishment and relationship with food. In addition to being very present and attentive in meetings, she is extremely prompt, responsive, and flexible in her communication. After every meeting, she sends a brief recap of the meeting and a few incremental goals to work on in the next week. Alexa clearly cares immensely about helping others find peace with food, and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking to find food freedom! I am confident that I will find and sustain mine now that I am working with her.

Working with Alexa has not only helped me understand my nutritional needs, but has also helped me start the internal work on healing my relationship with food. Her goal-oriented approach, her responsiveness and availability has helped me meet some of my challenges. Her scientific and gentle approach has invited and motivated me to listen and recognize what we call my “healthy voice.”
