About Tiffany

Food and movement have always been central to my life, whether I'm playing volleyball or camping with friends, exploring new coffee shops, or experimenting in the kitchen. I earned an MS in Nutrition and Exercise Science from South Dakota State University and work as an RDN and LD, with experience across research and academia, corporate wellness, community health, and retail settings. That mix taught me to meet people where they are and create practical plans you can actually live with. I like to keep my problem-solving creative and patient-focused.

Approach to care

Evidence guides what I recommend, and empathy shapes how we get there. As an MS-trained RDN and LD I pull from current research to offer clear, actionable steps we'll try together, while honoring a Health At Every Size perspective that centers behavior over weight. I take a holistic view of health, considering sleep, movement, stress, and daily routines, and I make education part of every conversation so you understand the why behind each change. My goal is sustainable habits that feel manageable, not temporary rules.

Your first session with Tiffany

Expect a relaxed, judgment-free visit where we'll review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics, and gather a thorough food history. We'll talk about your relationship with food and past experiences with nutrition and dieting, and explore practical barriers and lifestyle factors that shape daily choices. Together we'll establish short-term, achievable goals and outline first steps you can try. You don't need to have everything figured out before we meet, just bring honesty and we'll build a plan that fits your life.
