Nicole Nesbitt

About Nicole

Seven years as a Registered Dietitian and a degree from South Dakota State University taught me that nutrition counseling is about people, not perfection. My time in WIC clinics and community health helped me support babies, breastfeeding and non-lactating moms, pregnant people, and children with practical, real-life solutions. In addition to my WIC experience, I have training as a clinical lactation specialist. With public health training through an MPH and clinical lab skills as a CLS, along with licensure as an LDN and my RD background, I enjoy helping individuals set realistic goals as we work together. Outside the office you'll find me walking my dogs, doing pilates, trying new restaurants, soaking up sunshine, or diving into a good documentary.

Approach to care

Evidence guides what I recommend, and your life guides how we put it into practice. I use a Health At Every Size approach, focusing on behaviors and well-being rather than weight, while staying rooted in current research. I'm direct and action-oriented, so we'll leave sessions with clear, manageable steps, but always in a warm, nonjudgmental space. Together we'll address the whole person, including stress, sleep, and the emotional side of eating, and I aim to educate you so changes last beyond a single appointment.

Your first session with Nicole

Expect a relaxed, judgment-free conversation where we'll review your medical history and take a deep dive into your relationship with food. We'll talk about what has worked, what hasn't, and how your routines and values shape choices. By the end we'll agree on one or two short-term, realistic goals so you have clear next steps without feeling overwhelmed. You don't need to have everything figured out before we meet, just bring honesty and curiosity and we'll build from there together.
