Liz is Co-Founder and Dietician at From The Heart Nutrition.
 
Liz is a Pacific NW native, and found her roots nearly a decade ago here in Southern New England as a Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian (CEDRD) and Intuitive Eating specialist in both Mass and Rhode Island. She is deeply passionate about the treatment of eating disorders, helping clients find full recovery, and deconstructing diet culture. All of this through the lens of Intuitive Eating®, self compassion, and Health at Every Size®.  While she works with the continuum of disordered eating concerns, she has a special interest in working with clients who struggle with Binge Eating Disorder & Bulimia Nervosa in the LGBTQIA community.  She understands that becoming more attuned with your body takes patience, practice, reflection, and a ton of aligned healers around you.
​
In every session, she works to bring enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, warmth, and evidence-based practice into the nutrition counseling process. She practices a respect for all bodies model, to develop a supportive, sustainable nutrition path with each person. She is currently working in private practice in Providence, RI and accepts most insurance plans. And, starting in 2018, Liz will be providing body positive yoga & mindful eating workshops after completing her 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training!

Emily is a Dietician at From The Heart Nutrition.
 
From being raised in a Portuguese household, to participating in countless softball tournaments and sports endeavors, I grew up in a space where food was celebrated and shared among family and friends. After discovering the nutrition and dietetics career path, I knew I wanted to become a dietitian to help others find the same joy in food and movement.

Ashley is Co-Founder and Dietitian at From the Heart Nutrition.

 

Growing up a picky eater who survived on every chicken nugget and tender she could find, Ashley never thought her path would lead her to a career in nutrition. Ashley knows that many clients worry that “all dietitians eat perfectly” and can feel hesitant to share their struggles believing they will be judged or that they should “know better”. Ashley works to remove shame from day one with clients and move them from the false pursuit of perfection, to finding a maintainable and enjoyable way to take care of themselves. Using a blend of compassion, humor, individualized care, and evidence-based recommendations, Ashley is grateful to support her clients as they take their journey to true wellness.

​

Ashley uses a Health At Every Size ® framework and intuitive eating approach to support individuals and families to eat with compassion and care. Ashley’s specialty areas include eating disorder recovery, non-diet approach to wellness, pediatrics (parent coaching for under age 13), body image support, and picky eating.

Michelle is a Dietician at From The Heart Nutrition.
​

Throughout Michelle’s life, food has always been something to love and something to enjoy. From family parties, to watching cooking shows, to trying new restaurants - mealtimes were always cherished. As we grow older, the relationships we have with food and our bodies tend to become more complicated. 

 

For Michelle, being a dietitian means understanding how to nourish your body in a way that feels good for you. Nutrition is meant to be individualized and there is no one right (or wrong) way to eat. When food no longer holds moral value, it becomes possible to have a more enjoyable outlook on food!

Nutrition counseling that is HAES informed and provides an intuitive eating framework is a passion for Michelle. Michelle works to help her clients build a peaceful relationship with food and their bodies. 

 

Michelle completed her undergraduate degree and Master of Science in Dietetics at University of Rhode Island and completed her dietetic internship through Sodexo Dietetic Internships at Southcoast Health.
