About Kadeshia

With a background in exercise science and two master's degrees in nutrition, my work blends movement and fueling in practical ways. I earned a BS in Exercise Science from Montana State, an MS in Nutrition & Human Performance from Logan University, and an MS in Applied Nutrition from the University of New England. As an RD and LD with experience in community health, private practice, and sports nutrition, I bring real-world tools to each visit. Outside of work I'm reading, spending family time chasing around my daughter, lifting or hiking, and loving life with our Corgi and Spin-Doodle.

Approach to care

I use evidence-based guidance while honoring that there is no single right way to eat. Together we’ll build practical, sustainable habits that fit your life, not a rigid plan you can’t maintain. My approach is warm and non-judgmental, yet direct and action-oriented, so you leave each visit with clear steps and accountability. I take a whole-person view, looking at physical activity, sleep, stress, and values, and I focus on behavior change over scale-based outcomes so you can feel confident and supported long term.

Your first session with Kadeshia

Expect a relaxed, collaborative visit where we'll review your medical history, daily routines, and what matters most to you. We'll establish short-term goals together that feel doable and aligned with your life, and I’ll explain the reasoning behind each step so you feel confident taking them. This is a no-pressure space, you don't need perfect records or all the answers. Bring questions, wins, and concerns, and we'll create a plan that moves you forward in sustainable ways.
