I'm a Registered Dietitian who is passionate about supporting people in developing a nourishing relationship with food, movement, and their bodies. I strive to offer a safe and inclusive space for folks to explore patterns and origins of their disordered eating and exercise, as well as recover from body shame.
What if you wake up someday and you didn't go swimming in warm pools and oceans, you didn't travel, and you didn't follow where your heart wants you to go for all those years because you don't like your body; or you were just so caught up in perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid?
You may feel like you've tried everything when it comes to food and body, and still haven't found the thing. You might be overwhelmed, frustrated, and just plain tired. You're beginning to question all these fad diets because they have never really made you feel healthy and content like they promised.
Unlearning is challenging. Do not expect neat, tidy resolutions, or assume that we will instantly fix the world's ills in a single dialogue. We can, however, get closer to those goals if we are willing to be uncomfortable. You may have been told that you need to change your body in order to pursue the things that you value: health, a successful career, love, community, etc.
Whether you've been recently diagnosed or have gone years without support for the eating disorder, you deserve help. Living with an eating disorder can make you feel very alone. You want food and your body to take up less mental energy. Having an eating disorder is debilitating. You can't stop thinking about food and your body.

Katherine is one of the kindest, most thoughtful and understanding clinicians in the field. Her approach is not only compassionate and caring, but grounded in evidence-based science. I so appreciate how Katherine regularly seeks out further education consultation to ensure she provides the best, most up-to-date care for her clients. Highly highly recommend Katherine and her team!

Katherine of Bravespace Nutrition is a colleague I highly respect and feel confident referring to my patients and friends. It is reassuring to know they will have a safe and supported space to discover a path away from diet-culture an toward a healthier connection with their food, body and mind. She provides the tools to trust and build healing relationships with food and body by working with the principles of Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size, while also incorporating a unique, client-centered approach for each individual.

Katherine's expertise may be in one on one counseling, but as a professor I have used her services several times in the context of my college courses. And her considerable abilities to listen, engage, and communicate translate directly to the group sessions! I have been very impressed, and will continue to ask her to consult in my classes.

Katherine is an amazing RD!! She listens and cares so much about her patients and their wellbeing. She will completely change the way that you view your relationship with food and body image. After working with Katherine this summer for an internship experience, I came out of the internship a completely different person. I was able to take everything that I learned and apply it upon my school work which even opened up the eyes of my professors and peers to the intuitive eating approach. I am eternally grateful that I had the opportunity to have Katherine as my mentor, and I 10000% recommend her

I have known Katherine in a professional capacity for the better part of a year and find her to be an impressive individual. She is clearly very well-informed in her field, obviously cares deeply about the work she does and is bright, articulate and caring. I have referred a number of people to her already and will continue to do so without hesitation.

In a culture exceptionally good at making people feel bad about ourselves and our bodies, Katherine provides a safe haven and way forward towards healing one's relationship with food, our bodies, and ultimately ourselves. Katherine's authenticity, extensive knowledge, and direct approach has been instrumental in supporting many of our shared clients on their journey towards not just a healthier relationship with food but towards more meaningful lives. She is always the first recommendation for anyone (clients and friends alike) who could benefit from someone trained to help them repair their relationship

Katherine is a gem of a person with endless compassion for others and a unique ability to listen without judgment. She is generous, authentic, and makes others feel valued. Katherine is a pleasure to work with and I have learned so much from her. I would highly recommend her practice for anyone seeking food or body image support.
