You deserve to feel at peace with food.
And right now, making decisions around food and deciding what to eat is leaving you stressed, frustrated, and seriously doubting your ability to nourish yourself. The pressure to “eat right” has taken the joy out of food altogether. Occasionally, there’s a glimmer of hope that one day food won’t totally rule your life and that’s about the only thing getting you through to the next meal.
Nutrition Counseling for...
Eating Disorder Recovery
You’re exhausted thinking about food all the time. What started as a way to control your food has led to food controlling your life. There are foods that are on the “absolutely not” list and your appetite swings from ravenous to no hunger cues whatsoever. Through understanding your body’s needs, gently rebuilding your internal cues, and honestly some hard work, food can become less of a battle.
Navigating a Medical Condition
Your doctor just dropped a diagnosis on you and sent you on your way with a sheet of paper that has some vague nutrition advice. It’s definitely not helpful, and Google is making you feel even more overwhelmed on how to support your health through food.
Being an Intentional Eater
You’re just trying to “eat right”, juggling how food makes you feel, sustainability, foods you enjoy, and wanting to pursue a healthy lifestyle. With a new nutrition fad circulating social media almost daily, you’re left confused more than ever on what eating patterns work best for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will you help me lose weight?
The desire to lose weight in a world that praises thinness is real and valid. Our approach is weight-inclusive, which means we focus on improving your relationship with food, supporting your physical and mental health, and helping you find sustainable habits, regardless of your body size. We’re here to help you care for your body, not control it.
Back to the questions
Do you take insurance?
Yes! We are in-network with the following insurances:
Back to the questions
- Blue Cross Blue Shield (including Regence and Premera)
- PacificSource
- United Health Care and UMR
- Cigna
- First Choice Health
- BridgeSpan
- Kaiser (PPO plans only)
- Moda
However, you are responsible for checking your own benefits so you can understand what’s covered and whether a co-pay applies. You can use these questions when contacting your insurance company to explore coverage for nutrition counseling. We have a billing specialist on our team - Stacy - who will handle your claims and communicate with you about payments and outstanding balances.
If we’re not in-network with your insurance, you may still be able to get reimbursed through out-of-network benefits. We’re happy to provide a superbill, but you’ll need to pay for services upfront.
Will I see my dietitian in-person or virtually?
Lydia is the only clinician that sees clients in-person in Portland, OR. Daniella offers sessions virtually for clients residing in Washington, Oregon, California, and Arizona.
Back to the questions
How long will I work with a dietitian?
Everyone’s journey is different! Some of our clients meet with us for a few months, others meet with us for longer. Together, we’ll find a rhythm and timeline that supports your goals and health.
Back to the questions
Will you give me a meal plan?
Not in the traditional sense. We may explore flexible structure or meal ideas together, but our focus is helping you build confidence in your food choices… not following strict rules.
