The most effective way back to a functioning brain and the beginning of the end of your eating disorder, is personalized nourishment and a solid strategy.
Led by Kristine Sinner, MS, RDN/LDN, CEDS (Certified Eating Disorders Specialist) with expansive experience treating eating disorders exclusively since 1991, we are a team of Eating Disorder Dietitians and Eating Disorder Therapists who passionately believe that those who make nutritional intervention, restructuring, and rehabilitation a priority in their recovery will consistently have far greater and more sustainable outcomes. People suffering from eating disorders come in all shapes and sizes and present with a myriad of health complications, all at varying levels of severity.
Regardless of your body size, a starved and malnourished brain is a malfunctioning one! Before you can get to work on the psychological components of what caused, and keeps you in your eating disorder behaviors, you have to provide your brain and body with the fuel it needs to do so. This has held true with our clients time and time again with our nutrition therapy.

New Client Comprehensive Nutrition Assessment
A 90 minute, in depth assessment of your nutritional status and level of risk based upon current metrics, nutrition intake, level of activity, lab values, and medical history/concerns. Initial food, supplement, fluid recommendations, and any other resources necessary to successful implementation of a treatment plan will be provided.
Individual Counselling
Whether you have an eating disorder or maybe just going through a hard time, individual counseling can help you move through it and grow from it. Our approach for all clients is very individual. In the assessment you will establish rapport and set goals
with your new therapist!
Individual Medical Nutrition Therapy
Weekly to bi-monthly review and modification of current nutrition and fluid intake since the initial evaluation. With measurable and achievable goals, we will navigate through the various physical, social, emotional and behavioral challenges that may come up along the way towards recovery from your eating disorder.
Eating Disorder Treatment Consults
Treatment consults are for anyone looking to ask specific questions, usually about a loved one or child you suspect might have an eating disorder or who is unwilling to get help. We can help you figure out a plan to help them by assessing the situation, providing guidance and offering next step recommendations.
Virtual Meal & Snack Monitoring
One of the biggest reasons individuals with eating disorders so often end up in a higher level of care is for re-feeding and nutrition monitoring. Being able to monitor and ensure your intake can help you to stabilize and potentially save thousands of dollars in avoiding inpatient or residential treatment.
