Lauren's Bio
Lauren’s mission as a dietitian is to empower her clients with the tools and knowledge to make confident, informed choices about nutrition. She is dedicated to supporting individuals from all walks of life, meeting her clients where they are at on their journey, and removing the stress often associated with food. By seeing each client as a whole person and providing individualized care, she strives to create a supportive and personalized experience that fosters both physical well-being and personal growth.
Lauren enjoys creating a comfortable and affirming environment where she can make the information digestible (pun intended) and truly actionable for her clients’ lives. Together, she believes in uncovering solutions to any barriers, while always keeping the big picture in mind. Lauren is focused on implementing a weight neutral and non-diet method to nutrition counseling. She creates a welcoming and inclusive space for queer-identifying and LGBTQIA+ individuals, as well as those who are neurodivergent and have diverse nutrition needs.
Lauren feels comfortable with clients with complex medical histories, including: post critical hospitalization and new diagnoses; pre/post transplant (heart, liver, kidney, pancreas, lung); ADPKD and chronic kidney disease; cirrhosis of the liver, NASH/NAFLD; neurologic disorders such as Parkinson’s, dementia and traumatic brain injury; chronic heart failure and coronary artery disease; respiratory dysfunction such as COPD; gastrointestinal dysfunctions such as dysphagia, Crohn’s disease, acid reflux, IBS, short bowel, and ostomy care; diabetes; thyroid conditions; autoimmune disorders; oncology and general wellness.
Though Lauren’s hobbies and interests are ever evolving, the constants are consuming pop culture, expanding her music library, reading fantasy and science fiction, dancing with her cats (Ken and Dennis), traveling and board game nights with her chosen family.
