What we do
Nutrition is more than just food. The word “nutrition” comes from the latin word “nutrire” which means “to nourish.” To nourish ourselves means to provide ourselves with the means (food) necessary for growth and health. However, nourishment comes from more than just the foods that we eat. We nourish ourselves through our body, mind, and spirit through the things we consume, the community we surround ourselves with, the habits we form, & much more.
Working with a dietitian at Growing Well Nutrition, you will learn how to break away from diet culture ideas that pull us away from nourishment and find peace with food. As your dietitian, we will not judge you or control you. Instead, we are here to comfort and guide you. It is not our job to tell you what to eat or what not to eat but to be a tool for you to find food freedom.
Our Philosophy
At Growing Well Nutrition, we believe in the nourishment of the entire body. We are an anti-diet group that focuses less on weight and more on the inner-self. Growing Well Nutrition wants to work to end weight stigma and help our clients learn how to find peace with their bodies and food.
Whether you are here for support on your journey to recovery from an eating disorder, want to learn how to enjoy a happy hour with your friends, or how to end the binge-restrict eating cycle, you are in the right place!
Our Mission
Learning to live in balance
Our Approach
As anti-diet dietitians, we focus more on the nourishment of the whole body and less on weight. We apply Health at Every Size® and Intuitive Eating approaches in our practice.
Food is medicine, however, we won’t simply prescribe you a diet and move on. We will work with you for however long it takes, as nutrition is a dynamic science; it changes as we grow and age. We will help you understand your body’s needs and know how to adapt accordingly. We will help take away the internal battle and emotions that come with eating. Wherever you are on your food, nutrition, and health journey, we will meet you where you are to help meet your goals.
