My Approach is Patient centered

I love working with people who take ownership of their health and healing journey, are ready to feel better and are open minded. My approach to nutrition counseling is very patient centered. Ensuring my nutrition recommendations and plans resonate with you is pivotal to our work together. No matter what we are working on, I approach nutrition counseling through the lens of intuitive eating and health autonomy so that our work together feels approachable and sustainable. 

 

Together, we will explore how stress, sleep, movement, relationship to food and body, digestion and health history impact your wellbeing. Then, I will provide evidence based and relatable nutrition guidance every step of the way.

I believe we all have the power to heal our bodies

Hi, my name is Kassy. I am so happy you are here. 

 

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) who has been providing nutrition counseling services since 2017. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Health Sciences (BS), with a specialty in Nutrition. I am also pursuing an advanced functional nutrition and medicine certification. I am licensed to practice in Oregon and Washington but can also legally see clients in the states listed above. 

​

I discovered my calling as a dietitian through my love of running and endurance sports. In my own health journey, I learned that balanced nutrition is key to feeling strong and living fully. By fueling our bodies with intention, and using food as a way to care for and connect with ourselves, we unlock our potential to feel confident and embodied in who we are. My goal is to help you feel your best so you can enjoy what matters most to you, and be present for the people you love.

​

In addition to my training in nutrition, I hold 500 hours of yoga teacher training. This supports me in bringing more somatic body based approaches to our work together. I value practicing from a weight inclusive and HAES lens. When appropriate, I will bring intuitive eating and mindfulness concepts into our work together. I love learning, and practice Food Story Coaching, a method that provides me with the tools to help you with your relationship to food.

​

I believe that we all have the power to heal our body, and I am here to help you with an individualized nutrition and lifestyle plan that works for you! No more yo-yo diets. In fact, no more diets at all! I am creative, welcoming and use a down-to-earth approach that will help you make nutrition and lifestyle changes that are sustainable.

​

Outside of work, I enjoy biking, spending time with friends, trying new restaurants, doing yoga, going to concerts, hiking and going to the park with my dog, a pyrenees hound mix.
