Hi! I’m Ali, I use she/her/hers pronouns and am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Therapist in the state of Washington, specializing in disordered eating.  While I welcome all along the eating disorder spectrum, I have a particular passion for working with those seeking body image healing, liberation from chronic dieting, and a desire to UN-learn incorrect and harmful nutrition information and RE-learn how to make food decisions from an embodied, intuitive place.  

I have a compassionate, client-centered approach that is deeply rooted in a weight-inclusive, Health at Every Size© framework that emphasizes intuitive eating, respect of one’s natural ability to attune to food, body, and movement, and a comprehensive look at the many determinants of health.  I believe that every person’s body innately knows how best to nourish itself through food, social connection, and self-care, and I am passionate about helping people rediscover that internal wisdom.  

With an interest in how the many cultural and social injustices shape our relationships with our bodies and with awareness that the longest (and one of the most significant!) relationships you will ever have is the one with your body, I believe that the greatest service I can provide is to help clients reconnect with their body after years (and potentially generations) of body loathing, depriving, and mistrust. I am passionate about helping people come back in relationship with their body and begin to trust and care for one another.  

In my free time I love leisurely mornings with my Siamese cat, a cup of coffee, and the Great British Bake Off! I also love to run, bake bread, garden, and watch movies.  I’m a new Mom (crazy!) and love to watch my infant learn how to trust his own body!

I look forward to being part of your healing journey to a peaceful existence with food, body, and movement!
