About Julia

Food has always felt like both science and story to me. After earning a BS in Dietetics from Louisiana State University, I spent nine years working as a Registered Dietitian in clinical and hospital settings. I also support families as an IBCLC, caring for NICU graduates and infants with feeding challenges, from tube feeding and G-tube weaning to starting solids and responsive feeding. I live in Charleston, and I recharge by cooking, reading, writing, and camping in nature.

Approach to care

Evidence guides the recommendations I offer, and compassion guides how we work together. I take a holistic, whole-child approach. We'll use clear, science-based steps and practical goals, while honoring your family's needs and preferences. I keep care direct and action-oriented and teach the why behind my plan. I am passionate about supporting breastfeeding, but am nonjudgmental and supporting about all family feeding goals.

Your first session with Julia

I'll review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics so we understand the full picture, then we'll talk through your routines, wins, and frustrations in a judgment-free, low-pressure conversation. You don't need to have it all figured out. Together we'll establish short-term goals that feel realistic, and I'll offer clear, actionable steps to get started, whether we're troubleshooting lactation, starting solids, addressing ARFID, or planning G-tube weaning.
