Let go of confusion and pressure around food and health. Move toward your goals with clarity, confidence, and compassionate support.

annie, fat lib dietitian

The nutrition world is loud, confusing, and

not designed for fat people.

Nutrition advice is often conflicting and usually dripping with fatphobia. If you’re in a larger body, it can feel like every path leads back to shrinking yourself. I help you step outside that framework and build a clear, evidence-informed path toward health – one that respects your body and your autonomy.

I'm here to support folks like you.

  • You're looking for health support without weight-loss pressure as a larger person

  • The flood of messages about GLP-1's for weight loss makes you feel more confused than ever

  • You need a trustworthy partner to navigate conflicting nutrition advice

  • You want clear next steps instead of vague “just listen to your body” messaging

  • You care about your health but don’t want shame to be the motivator

  • You are searching for weight inclusive diabetes care

Hi! I'm Annie.

dietitian. fat person. fat liberationist.

I grew up believing that becoming thin was the key to health, happiness, and success. Even though I was a varsity athlete, getting good grades, and enjoying a strong group of friends... all while fat. Then, I found body liberation work that completely shifted how I understood health and worth.Now, as a registered dietitian, I help fat folks build definitions of health that are achievable, research-informed, and actually supportive of their lives – not rooted in shrinking.

Let's work together.

I offer private-pay virtual nutrition counseling for adults. Our work is collaborative, practical, and grounded in current research.

  • 1:1 virtual sessions ($75/session or $255 for a four-pack)

  • Clear, actionable steps tailored to your life

  • Ongoing support and accountability

  • Focus on sustainable habits, not weight loss

We center your goals, not arbitrary numbers on a scale.

Ready for a clearer path forward?

You don’t need another diet. You need guidance that respects your body and your intelligence. If you’re ready to move toward your health goals without shame or pressure, I’d be honored to work with you.

Let’s connect.

New Workshop!

The Fat Folks (Starter) Guide to Intuitive Eating

Date & Time: Monday, July 27, 2026 from 7-9pm CT
Location: Virtually via ZoomThe term “intuitive eating” gets thrown around a lot, often with a suspicious amount of diet culture, weight-loss language, and fatphobia attached. If you’ve given intuitive eating a healthy dose of side-eye, I don’t blame you. A lot of the time, it can seem like the people invited into intuitive eating are young, thin, white, wealthy, and already seen as “healthy.”So what does intuitive eating look like for the rest of us? Can fat folks eat intuitively? What if you have health concerns? What if trusting your body feels impossible after years of being told your body can’t be trusted?

When the world treats your body size as evidence that you need more rules, more control, and more shame, it can be hard to imagine making peace with food. But fat folks deserve access to body trust, food freedom, and nutrition care that doesn’t require us to shrink ourselves.The Fat Folks (Starter) Guide to Intuitive Eating is an honest, fat-lib grounded introduction to rebuilding body trust in a world that has taught fat people to distrust ourselves around food. As a fellow fat person and dietitian who practices intuitive eating, I’ll help you understand what intuitive eating actually is, what it isn’t, and how to approach it without shame, perfectionism, or secret weight-loss goals.You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of intuitive eating as a flexible self-care framework (not a set of rules) and practical starting points for making peace with food, honoring your body, and practicing gentle nutrition in real life.In this session we’ll cover:

  • What intuitive eating actually is, and what diet culture has turned it into

  • Why body trust can feel complicated for fat folks

  • Whether fat folks can eat intuitively, especially with health concerns

  • Hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and what to do when body cues feel confusing

  • Making peace with food without turning it into another perfection project

  • Gentle nutrition without shame, restriction, or secret weight-loss goals

  • Practical first steps for rebuilding food trust in your real life

Join us Monday, July 27 from 7-9pm CT via zoom to dive into this topic. This session will be recorded and available to registrants following the live session.Presented by: Annie J, MPH, RD, LD
