Kathryn Huggins

About Kathryn

Nutrition has been my classroom and my calling for more than 15 years. With an MS in Public Health Nutrition from Case Western Reserve University and a BS in Dietetics from The University of Akron, I’ve supported people across community health, WIC, drug and alcohol rehab centers, home visits with homebound clients, and clinical settings. As an RD, LD, CLC and CHC, I combine science with practical, compassionate care. When I’m not working I practice yoga, meditate, cook, paint, take nature walks, and spend time with the love of my life, our children, three rescued cats, and a very energetic Australian cattle dog.

Approach to care

Evidence guides my recommendations, and empathy guides how we use them. I ground counseling in current research while meeting you where you are, practicing weight-neutral, behavior-focused care that prioritizes long-term habits over quick fixes. We'll set clear, practical steps and track progress together, addressing sleep, stress, and daily routines as part of a whole-person plan. I aim to teach skills and build confidence so the changes you make are sustainable and shame-free.

Your first session with Kathryn

We’ll spend our first visit exploring your relationship with food, what’s working, and where you feel stuck. This is a judgement-free space, so you don’t need to have everything figured out. I’ll ask about your history, routines, and goals so we can co-create a couple of short-term, achievable steps. You’ll leave with clarity, realistic actions, and a plan focused on steady, sustainable progress rather than pressure or perfection.
