Hi there! I’m Taylor, a dietitian and nutrition counselor specializing in eating disorders, intuitive eating, and sports nutrition. As a HAES® and intuitive eating-aligned provider, my goal is to help my clients take care of themselves well by healing their relationships with food and body, stripping away external rules and judgements surrounding food, tuning into their own internal needs and wisdom, and enjoying food, life, and sport more fully as a result.
I have been supporting individuals in healing their relationships with food, body, and movement since 2014. I was trained as an eating disorders dietitian at McCallum Place Eating Disorders Center where I worked with adults, adolescents, and athletes on finding greater peace and ease with food. I am currently the staff Sports Dietitian for the Victory Program at McCallum Place, the only treatment center in the nation offering residential eating disorders care to struggling athletes. As the only dietitian in the state of Missouri who holds specialty certifications in sports nutrition, eating disorders, and intuitive eating, I love helping clients return home to themselves and their own inherent wisdom in the midst of our messy and confusing diet-centric culture.
True wellbeing is not stressful food rules and battling natural body size. It’s ditching the food rules, making peace with body weight and shape, and making food and movement choices from a perspective of enjoyment, pleasure, and self-care. Food is one of life’s greatest gifts and a wonderful way to celebrate culture, taste, connection, abundance, function, and pleasure. I truly believe that you CAN remove guilt and anxiety from the eating experience and reclaim the table as a place where food is positive again.
