What my clients are saying

Nutrition counseling changed my world.

I went in with the plan to lose weight & learn how to "control myself."

I came out with a fuller understanding of the psychology behind when and what I eat.

Fear of letting go of shame & guilt made me resistant; however, I was so miserable and I knew that dieting was not going to work for me (because it never had). Thus, I let go and listened.

I stopped binge eating.

I stopped hiding my eating.

I finally let go of the shame & guilt.

I am on a different journey now, but Katherine helped me find joy in food and life.

Nutrition Client

Nutrition counseling was a complete life changing experience for me.

I went from feeling compelled to track every single bite of food I ate to being able to eat in a more intuitive way. I would never have been able to make that transition without professional help.

I was so very nervous to start nutrition work, but Katherine was so incredibly kind and easy to talk to.

While the work itself can be challenging, I really felt like I had a teammate who wanted the best for me and was willing to help in any way possible. I felt like I could be open about all my fears and worries and knew there would be no judgement, only compassion, reassurance, and a plan to move past them.

I was able to challenge lots of different fear foods, was able to talk through my fears and get evidence based responses, and was also able to get help navigating nutrition through a pregnancy.

Nutrition Client

Since I was a teenager I have always been on some sort of diet. I had developed such a negative head space about diets, weight, body image, etc. I had this light bulb moment where I realized the yo-yo dieting was never going to change unless I tried something different. I wanted to find a new approach to eating.

My experience over the last year has been life changing. Katherine's approach is non threatening and always supportive. Over time, the negative body image and thoughts went away, and I'm always mindful of those trying to creep back in. I can eat without guilt. I have tossed out my scale. I'm happier.

What will you get out of nutrition counseling?

Individualized guidance

A nutrition approach that is both collaborative and tailored to your individualized needs and goals. We'll go beyond one-size-fits all approaches and talk about variety, balance, and foods you enjoy, promoting sustainable and nourishing eating habits.

Mindful & intuitive eating

Learn skills in intuitive eating that reconnects you with your body's innate wisdom. You'll be guided to recognize hunger and fullness signals, understand your cravings, and choose foods that genuinely satisfy you, promoting a more harmonious approach to eating.

Practical nutrition education

You'll learn practical and scienced backed knowledge about nutrition, mindfulness, food psychology, and self-empowerment. You'll be equipped to make choices that nurture your health and happiness over the long term.

Empowering support

This is a no - judgment space. At our regular check-ins we'll discuss your goals, explore challenges, and brainstorm problem-solving strategies. You will never be judged for your challenges with food.

Frequently Asked Questions

I am an in network provider with Cigna, aetna, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. Please note that being in network with your insurance provider does not always mean that the visit will be covered at 100%, and your plan may determine that you have a copay/coinsurance or deductible to pay. Since the individual patient responsibility varies between insurance plans, I request that clients self-verify their benefits and coverage to minimize surprises about the financial expectation. 

Only if your insurance company requires it! Most people don't need a referral for nutrition counseling.

I offer both in person and virtual sessions. In person sessions are held at my office in Anchorage, Alaska. 

As a weight-inclusive dietitian, my focus is on promoting health and well-being through sustainable and realistic approaches rather than the pursuit of a specific body weight or size. I do not provide guidance on weight loss.

Approaching nutrition without a focus on weight may be an unfamiliar, uncomfortable, and possibly very radical sounding concept. You may be unsure that taking a weight inclusive approach is the right fit for you, and it's okay to feel skeptical! We'll explore your desires, questions, and concerns about your weight with a focus on how that may impact your relationship with food.

A healthier relationship with food is possible - and you don't have to do it alone.
