Nutrition Counseling for General Health & Wellness

Whether you’re navigating chronic illness, looking to improve your energy levels, struggling with picky eating in your child, or simply want to understand what “eating well” means for you, we’re here to help. Our registered dietitians offer personalized, judgment-free support to guide you toward lasting change.

Our work is grounded in science, rooted in compassion, and fine-tuned by decades of clinical experience. We support individuals of all ages and body sizes in building lifelong habits stemming from self-care and body respect.

Health is not a number on a scale or a strict food plan. It’s about creating practices that support your body and mind, especially in times of stress, transition, or illness. At Beyond Measure, we embrace a whole-person model of care.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all nutrition plans. Instead, we take time to get to know you: your values, preferences, goals, and unique history with food. Then we co-create a plan that’s practical, flexible, and rooted in your real life.

Our dietitians can support you with:

• Managing chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or PCOS
• Implementing lifestyle changes to support heart health
• Exploring digestive issues like IBS, IBD, or possible food sensitivities
• Supporting optimal nutrition in pregnancy and postpartum
• Navigating picky eating and mealtime struggles with children
• Untangling nutrition myths and misinformation
• Navigating the challenges of eating with certain mental health diagnoses, like ADHD, ASD, depression, or anxiety

Whether you’re meeting with us for a one-time consult or ongoing sessions, you’ll be supported with empathy and expertise. Together, we’ll figure out what’s working well, what feels challenging, and what success looks like for you.

Our nutrition sessions are structured around your needs and comfort. In your initial appointment, we’ll explore your eating history, current challenges, medical background, and lifestyle. We’ll also ask about your relationship with food and how it’s been shaped by culture, upbringing, or past experiences.

Together, we’ll identify priorities and develop a realistic action plan. We might discuss meal planning, grocery shopping, nutrition education, or mindful eating practices—always with space for your questions and feedback.

Follow-up sessions offer ongoing support and flexibility. Some people meet with us weekly; others space sessions out as they build confidence. We’re here for the long haul, but you’re always in charge of your pace.

Here are a few things that make our sessions unique:

• No weigh-ins, shame, or judgment
• Collaborative goal-setting based on your values
• Consideration of mental health, stress, and trauma
• Support for neurodivergent individuals with unique sensory needs
• Options for parent-child sessions to support feeding dynamics
• No all-or-nothing approaches; we’ll be your guide toward balance

Our goal is to help you trust yourself more when it comes to your body and your needs—never to control or restrict your food intake.

Many people expect a dietitian to hand them a meal plan and a weight goal—but that’s not what we do. At Beyond Measure, we use a Health At Every Size® approach, which recognizes that health is possible across a wide range of body sizes and that weight is not the most meaningful measure of wellbeing.

We focus on behaviors, not numbers. Our work is about helping you:

• Eat in a way that feels supportive and satisfying
• Honor your hunger and fullness cues
• Manage symptoms and improve energy
• Reduce shame around food
• Feel more confident in caring for your body

We understand that this approach may be different from what you’ve encountered before. If you’re used to equating health with thinness or food with morality, it can feel vulnerable to try something new. That’s why we take time to explain our philosophy and work with you at a pace that feels respectful.

Our goal is not to “fix” you—it’s to support you in building a relationship with food that feels freeing, grounded, and sustainable.

Every client’s journey is unique, but here are some examples of topics we frequently address in general health nutrition counseling:

Food and mood

• How blood sugar fluctuations impact emotional regulation
• Ways to reduce anxiety through meal timing and balance
• Nourishing your body when you’re depressed or low appetite

Family feeding and child nutrition

• Responsive feeding approaches for toddlers and school-aged kids
• How to avoid passing on diet culture messages to your child
• Helping your teen develop a balanced, trusting relationship with food

Nutrition through life transitions

• What to eat during pregnancy and postpartum
• Adjusting your nutrition in perimenopause
• Caring for your gut health during times of stress

We meet you where you are, whether that’s a chaotic schedule, limited food access, or a long history of diet trauma.

While we can customize sessions as needed, these are some of our most requested offerings:

1. 60-minute lunch & learns

• Ideal for workplaces, clinics, or schools
• Can be virtual or in-person
• Designed to offer key takeaways with time for Q&A

2. Half-day workshops

• Great for staff retreats, community training days, or team development
• Include group discussions and optional experiential practices

3. Multi-session series

• Perfect for schools or organizations looking to build long-term engagement
• Can include a mix of student, staff, and parent/caregiver sessions

We offer both in-person workshops at your site and virtual presentations via secure video platforms.

We’ve received consistent feedback from participants who find our workshops both informative and meaningful. Many walk away feeling not only more knowledgeable but more equipped to take action in their lives and communities.

Some common reflections include:
“Such helpful tips and insights delivered with compassion and humanness”

“The team at Beyond Measure taught us so much about some very challenging topics to talk through, focused on eating disorder prevention, diet culture, and systemic oppression. They gave us plenty of space to ask questions and process in real time”

“After hearing this talk, I decided to find a therapist to start addressing my relationship with food, which has really been impacting my life”

We are honored to be a trusted voice in these spaces and always welcome the opportunity to bring this work to new groups.

1. Our integrative, collaborative approach
We’re not just nutrition experts—we’re part of a team that understands the connections between food, mood, trauma, and neurobiology. Our dietitians regularly collaborate with therapists, medical providers, and families to provide well-rounded care.

2. We respect body diversity
No matter your size, shape, diagnosis, or background, you are welcome here. We never make assumptions about your health based on your appearance.

3. We’re practical and non-dogmatic
No food rules, no shaming. We help you figure out what works for your body—not what someone on social media says is right or wrong.

We’re here to make nutrition approachable, not stressful.
