Eating disorder Recovery

🌿Making peace with food

Healing your relationship with food and your body is possible — and you don’t have to do it alone.

As a trauma-informed Registered Dietitian and Nutrition Therapist, I offer a safe, compassionate space to explore recovery. Together, we’ll untangle harmful beliefs, rebuild body trust, and create a nourishing relationship with food that honors your whole self.

Every treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs, weaving together evidence-based nutrition therapy with a holistic lens that supports emotional, mental, and physical healing. I practice from a Health at Every Size® framework and guide clients through the process of moving from body criticism into neutrality, tolerance, and — when it feels right — even self-love.

I believe all foods can fit. We’ll work gently and collaboratively to challenge fear foods, honor your preferences, and explore intuitive eating at a pace that feels safe and empowering.

Whether you’re just beginning or deep in your recovery journey, my approach is rooted in curiosity, consent, and care. You bring your story — I’ll bring my training, heart, and tools to help you feel whole again.

Naia is such a bomb dietitian. But seriously though, you always have a way of showing up with warmth to meet me where I’m at. You really get it. I appreciate all the ways you make me feel seen and heard, the way you provide such special interventions that are always tailored exactly to me (and I assume it’s the same way with other clients), and even your long and weird analogies that somehow always come back full circle and exactly fit the situation.

Client Testimonials

I can't believe I used to be afraid of starches. Now I can't imagine a meal without them!

-22 year old, Rumination Disorder & Orthorexia

I wouldn't have had such a successful first year of recovery without you and the tools you gave me. All your new clients are so lucky to have you!​

-21 year old, Anorexia Nervosa

Whenever I have intrusive thoughts, I ask myself - "What would Naia say in this moment?"

-37 year old, Bulimia Nervosa

I feel like I have a "Naia-chip" in my brain now that just entirely changed the way I think about food, which is a really big deal because I had such a challenging relationship with food for my entire life. I was the ultimate victim of diet culture. I could read and article that said something like, "Eat a grapefruit seed and you'll become an astronaut" and I would be like "Yeah that makes sense!". You really changed my entire way of thinking about food.

-20 year old, Binge Eating Disorder

When I first came to recovery, I was terrified to meet with you. I have only had bad experiences with dietitians before who always made me feel shame for the way I ate. But when I met with you and you just understood me, it made me feel okay. I mean this when I say it - thank you Naia, you literally saved my life. I don't know where I would be without you.

-42 year old, ARFID & Anorexia Nervosa

Naia taught me to take risks with food, even when it was scary. She taught me to challenge my ED thoughts and I learned that taking risks just means challenging something. You don't have to like it or necessarily do it again, but taking the risk is what matters. I learned to sit with the discomfort and nourish myself through it anyway.

-24 year old, Rumination Syndrome & Orthorexia

Our mutual client has spoken frequently about how helpful your support has been - the specificity and the concreteness of your suggestions to him were so helpful. He often talked about you and what a positive impact you had on him, helping him recover from his eating disorder in the context of trauma and his multiple medical conditions. You are the first and only positive nutrition experience he has ever had in all these years.
