About Rebecca

I first became interested in nutrition while running track in junior high. Unfortunately, that interest became an obsession that led to a struggle with food that lasted through my 20's. Having gone through that struggle personally, I understand the challenges you face when trying to heal your relationship with food—and it's one of the main reasons I decided to start my own practice.

I know what it feels like to be afraid of food, to feel guilty about eating, and to struggle with your body image. I also know that recovery is possible, and I'm here to support you through every step of that journey.

I am a Registered Dietitian (RD), Licensed Nutritionist, and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) through the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP).

Education:

• Bachelor's degree in Health and Human Development with emphasis in Food and Nutrition - Montana State University
• Dietetic Internship - Idaho State University

Experience:

• 16+ years practicing as a dietitian
• 10 years working in hospitals and medical facilities in Austin, Texas
• 6+ years specializing in eating disorder treatment since 2019
• Experience with PHP, IOP, and outpatient levels of care

I operate using the Health at Every Size® (HAES) framework, which includes five core principles:

• Weight Inclusivity: Health and worth aren't determined by body size
• Health Enhancement: Supporting health habits without focusing on weight loss
• Respectful Care: Addressing weight bias and stigma
• Eating for Wellbeing: Promoting flexible, individualized eating
• Life-Enhancing Movement: Supporting physical activity for joy and well-being

When I'm not working, I enjoy traveling, gardening, reading, and spending time in the beautiful Montana outdoors with my husband and our dogs.
