St. Louis Dietitian nutritionists
St. Louis dietitian nutritionist
I am a compassionate registered dietitian that has experience in research, clinical nutrition, sports nutrition, and eating disorders. I competed in Division I track at Saint Louis University where I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition. Then I stayed in Saint Louis to complete my Master’s Degree and Dietetic Internship in Nutrition and Physical Performance. From there I have worked in a variety of settings that have enriched my knowledge on nutrition and wellness.
I specialize in working with disordered eating, eating disorders, eating disorders in athletes (RED-S), and athletes looking to be more intuitive with their food and fuel. I believe that food and movement can be enriching to life, but when we are constantly bombarded with conflicting information of what is “right” or “best”, it can make fueling and exercise a huge stressor!
My favorite part of my job is watching clients’ grow in their confidence to fuel their body to meet their individual nutrition needs as well as regaining food freedom and the ability to enjoy eating. I will help you gain the knowledge and confidence to make peace with food and movement from an anti-diet, non-weight focused approach.

St. Louis dietitian nutritionist
As a registered dietitian my favorite part about my job is building rapport with clients and helping them neutralize their own food/body judgments. I use an individualized approach to tailor nutrition interventions for each client and I believe in an anti-diet approach that prioritizes food freedom with each client I work with.
I obtained my Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree, and completed my dietetic internship at Saint Louis University where I participated in research focusing on eating disorders. After graduating I gained experience in clinical nutrition, pediatric nutrition, disordered eating, and eating disorders.
Growing up as a dancer ignited my passion for working with eating disorders. I have been working in the field of eating disorders professionally since 2019 and continue to work at a local eating disorder treatment center. I specialize in working with disordered eating and eating disorders, and I have a special interest in working with dancers and those in the performing arts. I’m excited to work with you on your journey to food & body freedom!

St. Louis dietitian nutritionist
I’m Kate, a registered and licensed dietitian based in St. Louis, MO. I work with adults and adolescents of all genders to heal their relationships with food and body by using an anti-diet, body-neutral approach. I enjoy supporting my clients to find peace with food, body, and movement despite being in a diet-centered world with ever changing body ideals.
I graduated from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education and Human Sciences. Afterwards, I completed my Dietetic Internship and obtained a Master of Science degree in Medical Nutrition Therapy from Saint Louis University.
One of the most rewarding parts of my job is seeing my clients outgrow their inner critic and rediscover who they are apart from their eating habits. My goal is to create a warm and inclusive space where my clients feel understood, encouraged, and empowered to make lasting changes.
