NUTRITION STUDIO
I work with people seeking highly personalized nutrition care
My nutrition work is rooted in science and compassion. I use a weight-neutral approach grounded in evidence-based nutrition, behavior change psychology, and a deep respect for the emotional and social realities that shape our health. I’m especially passionate about helping people learn how to develop sustainable, nourishing routines and navigate conflicting nutrition information.
​
​Our work together is collaborative. You are the expert of your own body and lived experience. With me, you can expect a supportive, thoughtful partnership as we explore nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, and much more on your journey toward a vibrant wellbeing.

I will help you cut through the noise to cultivate a peaceful relationship with food and body
Hi, my name is Delaney. I am so happy you are here.
I’m a Portland-based Registered Dietitian, Certified Personal Trainer and National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach who takes an integrative, weight-inclusive approach to care. I love helping you cut through the noise to cultivate a peaceful relationship with food and body, and find deeper health and healing.
​
My journey with nutrition, movement, and lifestyle medicine started at an early age. Since childhood, I’ve always loved moving my body. In high school, I fell in love with distance running and weight lifting but my energy started to plummet. I always had lower energy, but didn't understand why until I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, hypothyroidism, and severe anemia at age 17. After my diagnosis, I saw a Registered Dietitian to learn more about how to nourish myself when everything felt so hard and confusing. This experience led me to choose a major in Applied Exercise Science with the intention of earning my master’s in Nutrition from Bastyr University. In between pursuing my education and training, I discovered the world of health coaching. I immediately connected with coaching’s emphasis on intrinsic motivation and behavior change psychology, and my nutrition counseling style is deeply informed by this.
​
My background in integrative nutrition, exercise science and behavior change coaching enables me to practice using a truly whole-person approach. I understand how complicated it is to nourish ourselves amid a world full of conflicting nutrition advice. I believe you deserve access to evidence-based care that takes into thoughtful consideration your values, circumstances, goals, and unique health story.
​
I practice from a weight-neutral lens and work with people navigating a wide variety of health concerns, from complex digestive conditions to menopause and mental health challenges that affect relationship to food and body. For those who are interested, I also provide strength training guidance and can help you to establish joyful movement routines, as part of our nutrition work together.
​
Outside of work, I enjoy acting, writing, painting, film, comedy, travel, and adventuring outdoors. You can often find me on stage at various Portland-area theaters, holed up writing in coffee shops, spending time with friends and family, or planning my next trip to explore a new part of the world.
