About Me
Hi there! I’m Abby (she/her), a Registered and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist living in Bend, Oregon. I am accepting new clients in both Washington and Oregon.
As a Non-Diet and Health at Every Size® aligned Dietitian, I enjoy helping individuals who want to improve their overall health and vitality through a positive relationship with food, body, and movement. Together, I help my clients find health-promoting behaviors that work for them, rather than implementing strict food rules or diets.
My goals are to empower individuals to thrive in their bodies without shame or judgment, improve overall health, and reduce symptoms from health concerns through quality nutrition and an improved relationship with food. I recognize that food has many roles in our lives - it not only nourishes our bodies, it’s also vital to our mental wellbeing, cultural practices, celebrations, and more.
During my 10+ years as a dietitian, I have gained valuable experience working with clients who experience disordered eating, diabetes, GI conditions, weight concerns, kidney disease, and more.
Outside of Work
I grew up in Kansas and made my way out to the PNW in 2015. While I do miss a good Midwest thunderstorm, the PNW feels like home. I live in Bend with my spouse, our herd of pets, and revolving door of foster animals.
I have always had a love for the mountains and the outdoors in general. I love tiny forest things, chasing big mountain views, and eating snacks in beautiful places.
In my free time, you’ll find me hiking/backpacking around the PNW, tending to my pollinator garden, caring for foster kittens, and spending most evenings relaxing at home with my spouse.
I love to cook and eat! Some of my favorite foods include fresh summer peaches and cherries, fish and chips at the coast, chai lattes, and local bakery favorites including Ocean Rolls, key lime bars, and savory scones.
