About Lacy

Hi, I'm Lacy! I am a Registered Dietitian with over 19 years of experience in the field of nutrition. I've worked in a variety of settings including sports and performance nutrition, clinical and hospital care, the Veterans Administration, post-surgery rehabilitation, outpatient counseling, and diabetes management programs. I'm passionate about meeting clients where they are in their own unique journey and helping them set realistic and attainable health goals. My passion is nutrition education and helping clients realize nutrition does not have to be stressful. I enjoy hiking, cooking, and traveling with my family when I'm not working with patients.

Approach to care

I center our work in current research while keeping recommendations practical and doable. We'll use evidence-based strategies to build sustainable habits, focusing on behaviors and meaningful health markers rather than numbers on a scale. In a warm, nonjudgmental space I'll explain the science, then we'll turn that understanding into clear, action-oriented steps and accountability. Together we'll consider mental, emotional, and lifestyle factors so change lasts.

Your first session with Lacy

For your first session, expect a relaxed conversation where we'll review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you can share. We won't expect you to have all the answers. We'll listen to your experiences, clarify short-term goals that feel realistic, and map practical first steps you can try. You'll leave with clear, manageable actions and the reassurance that we'll adjust the plan together as your life and needs evolve.
