Rebecca Aslam MS, RD, LDN

Posted April 5, 2024

Rebecca is a registered and licensed dietitian who is driven to help her clients develop a healthy relationship with food. She offers a safe, inclusive, compassionate space for her clients to learn about the practices of mindful and intuitive eating, to break down old thinking patterns and influences of diet culture, and to empower clients to make lasting, positive changes in their lives. She embraces the Health At Every Size® (HAES) framework in her counseling practice. If you have felt stuck in cycles of dieting, felt held back by poor body image, and nothing you’ve tried has addressed the root causes of your struggles, Rebecca would love to work with you to help you change that.

Rebecca’s experience prior to Healthier Tomorrows includes serving individuals working on their mental health, including healing from disordered eating. She has an extensive background in plant-based nutrition and loves sharing with people the evidence-based benefits of including more plants on their plate, and particularly working with personal needs and preferences for people who might find this challenging. She has also worked in a variety of inpatient and outpatient clinical settings that focus on oncology nutrition, diabetes, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular health. She has personal experiences with fertility and pre- and post-natal nutrition, feeding neurodivergent children, the challenges of feeding yourself well while in the trenches of parenting, and working with folks in the LGBTQIA+ community.

She received her Masters of Science in Food and Nutrition at Framingham State University, as part of their Coordinated Program in Dietetics, which matched her to internships at the Lahey Clinic, Tufts University, and Cooking Matters in Massachusetts.

In her free time, Rebecca listens to audiobooks, especially fantasy and science fiction, and watches genre shows, while nerding out about adaptations. She enjoys theater and music, yoga and hiking, and playing board games with her kids.

Loni is a registered dietitian with a great passion for supporting her clients as they navigate their own personal journeys toward a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food and the body. Although Loni has outpatient experience in many areas of medical nutrition counseling, she truly feels most impactful when working with clients that struggle with eating disorders and disordered eating behaviors. Additionally, Loni loves supporting clients living with autoimmune diseases, as she actively relies on her own vast nutrition background to support her own wellbeing, as she, herself, is someone who lives with chronic autoimmune conditions, including celiac disease.

Loni knows that all clients present at different levels of readiness and motivation when navigating their own nutrition journeys. Loni strives to meet each client at his, her, or their level of readiness, working to provide individualized, goal-oriented, compassionate care throughout the client-dietitian relationship.

Loni holds two undergraduate degrees from West Chester University of Pennsylvania – a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies and a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics. Additionally, she holds a minor in psychology, and throughout her career as a dietitian, continues to hold a strong interest in the intersection of nutrition and mental health. She completed her dietetic training concurrently with her Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics at St. Louis University.

A lifelong resident of the Philadelphia area, Loni enjoys spending her free time cooking, baking, reading, and spending time with her husband and Oliver, their miniature schnauzer. Not only is Loni an avid Philadelphia sports fan, she is also a huge baseball fan in general (GO PHILLIES!!!).

Fun fact: Loni plans to visit every MLB ballpark, and so far, has visited 9 out of 30 stadiums.
