Over the past two decades, I've learned that my clients don't lack willpower or desire to change: they lack the support and executive functioning skills that meal planning, movement, and other healthy lifestyle habits require. 

​

The good news? These skills can be learned, and I'm here to provide the support. 

 

I created Great Minds Nutrition to provide the kind of nutrition counseling that truly supports lifelong change. I got frustrated with the traditional model of Medical Nutrition Therapy, which bills for each session individually and offers limited covered hours by insurance. Visits felt rushed, and I was always unsure whether a patient would be denied and end up with a large bill. Nutrition therapy that produces lasting change includes a chance for clients to share their food and health story in full and receive personalized support, rather than a standard meal plan and lists of foods not to eat!

 

​To solve this problem and offer the care I wanted to my patients, I decided to use a direct care practice model that includes an in-depth initial assessment with intake managed by both a Registered Nurse (Emily) and a Registered Dietitian (me, Kathryn), ongoing follow-up visits, and unlimited accountability check-ins, all for a flat monthly fee. This allows me to limit the number of clients I accept and build a nutrition practice made up of my favorite people. ​We provide nutrition care for most chronic diseases, such as Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, CHF, NAFLD, High Cholesterol, and Metabolic Syndrome. We also use an intra-individual approach to Weight Management. This means that we focus on acute or gradual changes in your specific weight rather than comparing it to a standardized measure like BMI. This approach keeps the focus on engaging in healthy behaviors and addressing underlying factors, rather than chasing a number that may not mean anything. On a GLP-1? Our services can help you establish the meal structure and lifestyle habits that may help manage side effects and maintain muscle mass.

 

I am certified in the ecSatter Adult Eating Competence and the Satter Division of Responsibility in Feeding models. ​We are a self-pay private practice, but accept HSA or FSA payments with a Letter of Medical Necessity. For 2026, our payment model is a flat $125/month fee with a year-long agreement, which includes an in-depth initial assessment, eight 30-minute follow-up visits, and unlimited accountability check-ins per year. In subsequent years, a continued maintenance plan is available for $35/month, which includes an annual assessment, two follow-up visits, and unlimited accountability check-ins. In addition, clients of Great Minds Nutrition are eligible for group classes and resource materials at a reduced or free rate.​​

I can't wait to begin working with you!
