“My hope is to empower individuals by helping them cultivate a peaceful relationship with food, embrace the joy in movement, and learn to trust and respect their bodies.”
Hi! I’m Julia. I’m a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) licensed and practicing in the state of Illinois.
My goal is to help my clients find the joy in a life that’s full of satisfying, nourishing food, enjoyable movement, and body acceptance. It’s my hope that my clients will feel empowered to pursue health without dieting; that they will learn how to have peace with food and will be able to respect their body just how it is now, regardless of what it might be in the future or what it has been in the past.
My Virtual Services
I offer individualized care to best meet your nutrition needs including nutrition therapy for the treatment of disordered eating such as chronic dieting and restrictive, inflexible eating patterns as well as eating disorders including anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder.
I also have a passion for helping children and their parents cultivate a nourishing relationship with food and their bodies.
My Philosophy
I take a weight-neutral, Intuitive Eating approach to help my clients make peace with food and respect their bodies. Intuitive Eating integrates instinct, emotion, and rational thought to guide one’s eating as opposed to dieting and food rules, which often suppress hunger and fullness cues while also leaving individuals unsatisfied and energy-depleted. I want to teach my clients to trust themselves and their bodies when it comes to food and eating for their unique bodies’ needs.
