Approach

More about Chelsea

I love working with clients to deepen their understanding of nutrition and improve their relationship to food and their bodies. I strive to provide high quality, evidence-based, nutrition counseling to support long-term change.

I completed the Graduate Coordinated Program in Dietetics (dietitian training program), concurrent with my Master of Public Health (MPH), at the University of Washington in 2022. This included 1200+ hours of supervised training in dietetics. Within the program I was a maternal and child health trainee through the Western MCH Nutrition Partners.

After graduating, I served in an outpatient position at the University of Washington Medical Center for two years and have since seen hundreds of patients with referrals from Women’s Health, Internal Medicine, and Pediatric clinics.

I'm specially trained through the Ellyn Satter Institute in Eating Competence in Ellyn Satter’s “how to eat” method, and I'm passionate about integrating Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size (HAES) principles in my work. I have also completed several trainings in body image healing. My approach to nutrition counseling is compassionate, caring, and client-centered.

Introducing Amanda!

I'm honored to introduce a wonderful and experienced dietitian joining my practice, Amanda Li.

Learn more about Amanda below.

Hi, I'm Amanda!

My practice is rooted in a non-diet, weight-inclusive approach. I enjoy working with adults who are seeking a more peaceful, sustainable approach to nutrition and well-being - whether they're looking to improve their relationship with food, manage chronic health conditions, or simply feel more confident and competent in how they nourish themselves.

I've been a registered dietitian for over a decade, with most of my career spent working in outpatient oncology services. I'm especially passionate about supporting individuals interested in cancer prevention, survivorship, and rebuilding their relationship with food after a diagnosis.

I'm a certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and have completed training through the Ellyn Satter Institute in Eating Competence and the "how to eat" method.

My counseling style is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. I strive to meet people wherever they are in their journey and support them in building a grounded, trusting relationship with food and their bodies.

New! Nutrition Counseling for Early Childhood Feeding

We are pleased to announce that we now support families of children ages six months to ten years. Work with us to help your child build a foundation for a good relationship with food.

Our philosophy is grounded in Ellyn Satter's Division of Responsibility in Feeding (sDOR), a model of parent-child feeding recognized as best practice by leading professional organizations, including The American Academy of Pediatrics.

As parents of young children ourselves, we understand the stresses and doubts that can surface when it comes to feeding your child - from introducing solids, to navigating meal routines, to sifting through confusing nutrition information in the media. We understand the pressure to provide good nutrition for your child that supports their growth, and the desire to help them feel relaxed about food, knowing that these two things can sometimes feel at odds.

By focusing on early feeding relationships and evidence-based guidance, we can help you and your child build confidence, reduce mealtime struggles, and establish a positive relationship with food and their bodies that will serve them for the rest of their lives.

Testimonials

Chelsea is a fantastic nutritionist, she practices with extreme care, knowledge and compassion. In my time spent with Chelsea, she taught me how to plan meals that were not only well-rounded and nutritious, but also accessible and satisfying to my needs and cravings. She also helped me mend my relationship with food, that is complicated, by repairing my feelings and emotions surrounding them so I could better manage my binge-eating impulses, without harsh restrictions. Ultimately what Chelsea taught me is balance, how to appreciate and love my body by nurturing it with food that fuels me and satisfies me. I am so thankful for her kind and gracious nature, making a safe space to talk about difficult emotions with food.
