my treatment philosophy
|
Food connects us. To the earth, to our ancestry, to our bodies, to one another. A mirror for our lives that is both deeply emotional and profoundly physical.
By reinvigorating our connection with our bodies, by noticing our mind as it reacts to food and eating, by unraveling and engaging with the emotions associated with food, we become more balanced & joyful individuals. We learn to care for ourselves and are able to live life to its fullest capacity. My nutrition work is not prescriptive or directive. I am interested in listening deeply to your needs, co-creating strategies that work best for your history, personality and lifestyle - all while being your biggest supporter along the way. I love what I do and I feel very lucky to be able to do it. Nutrition therapy is multifaceted and nuanced. It is both personal & political. Changing our relationship with food requires deep listening, patience, compassion and creativity. |

"I have no words to describe how important my work with Hannah has been to my recovery from an eating disorder. Their understanding of nutrition and holistic approach have been crucial in my healing. I was lucky to find a provider with such a passion for helping clients develop a healthier relationship with food and their bodies.
Hannah goes the extra mile to adapt each treatment plan to meet specific needs. Their ability to genuinely connect and individualize care sets them apart from other professionals. I continue to use skills they've shared with me in my daily life and have so much gratitude for our time together." - M.M. , 24 |
"Hannah is a truly caring, thoughtful, insightful, intelligent, and remarkable individual and nutritionist. They have taken the time to understand what is going on with my food, behaviors, and emotions and how they all connect.
Hannah’s warm and positive energy made me feel instantly comfortable and open to sharing my struggles without feeling judged. Having been to a number of treatment programs over the past 16 years, I have met with many, many nutritionists. Hannah is the first who has provided me with an incredibly beneficial holistic approach which acknowledges the stressors going on in my life. We work together to create stability in my eating so I can face those stressors in healthy ways. They are one of the most warm, down to earth, and supportive people I have come across." - S.T., 29 |
"I would love nothing more than to share and express my infinite gratitude for Hannah's support in my ED recovery journey.
Through the course of working with Hannah, I have felt extremely supported in the highs and lows of my progress with their holistic nutritional approach. Hannah has cultivated a compassionate, honest relationship with me in which I feel safe to share. It is a comforting feeling knowing that I have access to competent care with Hannah. As an individual with various marginalized identities, I truly value Hannah's social justice and advocacy perspective .Hannah is open to discussing cultural contexts and how they impact my process, and they do so in the kindest of ways, while gently challenging me to make recovery-focused choices. If you are reading this, I highly recommend your connection with this incredible human being!" - Z.F, 26 |
a word on pricing
I believe that treatment should be accessible to everyone, particularly those who would otherwise be unable to afford sessions with a dietitian.
This philosophy is a cornerstone of the work I do. For this reason, I offer a sliding scale payment system based on individual need that is discussed with my clients on a case-by-case basis. This system takes into account income level as well as non-dominant systemic identities/layers of identity.
To see if I'm the right fit for you, an initial 30 minute consultation is free. This is where we can discuss your nutrition needs, answer any intitial questions and determine pricing. I am also happy to provide invoices/superbill with the appropriate provider documentation for you to submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
