Hannah VanFossen MPH, RD, LDN

Hannah is a registered dietitian who loves getting to partner with clients to develop a healthy relationship with food and body image. Hannah practices from a Health at Every Size (HAES), weight-neutral, and trauma-informed philosophy, prioritizing an empathic and flexible approach to nutrition. Her goal is to help every client connect with their values and have their relationship with food support the life they want to live. She believes that you are the expert of your experience and strives to provide a safe space to explore what health and wellness mean to you.

Hannah completed her Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from Messiah University, with a highlight from her undergrad education being her semester abroad in Rwanda. She completed her Master of Public Health and dietetic internship at Samford University, where she interned at an eating disorder treatment center, solidifying her passion for supporting clients walking through recovery. Hannah has worked in several levels of care, including inpatient, residential, and partial-hospitalization, working with both adolescent and adult clients with various eating disorder diagnoses. She has experience planning food exposures, challenging negative food beliefs, and leading education sessions for those supporting loved ones in recovery.

Hannah values combining evidence-based interventions with creative solutions that honor each person’s unique needs and goals. Hannah is an advocate for prioritizing mental health and strives to always lead with compassion and curiosity. She believes that all bodies deserve respect and nourishment and feels passionate about the intersection between social justice, food, and wellness.

In her free time, Hannah loves thrifting, listening to podcasts, enjoying time with family and friends, and spending a night in watching reality TV with a bowl of chocolate ice cream.
