Natsue Otake-Ferree

About Natsue

I have an MS in Nutrition and Dietetics and have worked 21 years as a Registered Dietitian in clinical and hospital settings. I focus on practical, lasting change. As an RD/ LDN who also holds a Certified Specialist in Gerontological nutrition credential, I bring science-based care with a personal touch. Outside work, gardening and taiko drumming keep me grounded and remind me that steady rhythm and patience matter in health.

Approach to care

I center care on science and on you. Using evidence-based guidance, we will translate research into practical steps you can use every day. I practice through a Health At Every Size lens, focusing on behaviors and sustainable habits rather than weight. I'm direct and action-oriented in outlining clear next steps, while staying empathetic and judgment-free. Together we'll consider the culture around food as a part of your whole life, and I will teach tools so changes stick.

Your first session with Natsue

Our first visit is a chance to map where you are without judgment. I'll listen and ask questions to understand your medical history, routines, and relationship with food. We'll review relevant medical information together and establish a couple of short-term goals that feel doable. You do not need perfect tracking or all the answers. We'll leave with clear, practical next steps and a plan to check progress together at a pace that fits your life.
