Work With Lea
Palm Beach Gardens’ Go-To Registered Dietitian
1:1 Nutrition Counseling
Providing a judgment-free, supportive, and welcoming environment where you can openly talk about your goals, challenges, and the progress you’ve made.
Group Programs
Healing is hard to do alone. These groups are a space to feel seen, heard, and supported by others who truly get it. You’ll learn, grow, and feel comforted every step of the way.
Courses
Self-paced, easy-to-digest courses designed to help you rebuild trust with food and your body. You’ll get interactive videos and written materials, providing valuable insights and information on various topics.
Speaking Engagements
From national conferences to workplace lunch-and-learns, I translate nutrition science into real-life applications that inspire audiences to rethink food, body image, and health.
Brand Work
Looking for a dietitian who understands both your audience and the science? I love working with brands whose values align with mine. Let’s create something meaningful together.
In the Media
Explore past interviews, media features, podcast conversations, and more!
Working with Lea has been great! She develops a program that is not only tailored to your needs but also sustainable. No fad or crash dieting, no “bad” foods, or shame.
I had issues with disordered eating related to stress and she equipped me right away with tools for handling and overcoming the triggers during a time of crazy upheaval for me. This was huge because for me, addressing the behavioral is just as important as the nutrition itself.
Most importantly, her approach really is focused on building the knowledge and skill set to apply a healthy diet to life, one that factors in holidays, family, times of upheaval, busy schedules, cooking preferences, etc.
Highly recommend Lea!!

You’re not failing diets:

Life after recovery feels like breathing again 😮💨
It’s not just about eating the ice cream or taking rest days. It’s about feeling free.
Diet culture has people chasing impossible rules:
☁️“Only eat clean.”
☁️“Burn it off.”
☁️“Earn your food.”
☁️“Always do more. Be less.”
And honestly? It steals so much joy. Every bite, every walk, every decision weighed down with guilt and pressure.
When you finally ditch diet culture and start healing your relationship with food, everything shifts.
Life feels lighter, calmer, and 100x more beautiful than the empty promises of control ever felt.
If this kind of freedom feels out of reach right now, I get it. But I promise, it’s possible. And you don’t have to do it alone.

Food guilt is loud… but your compassion can be louder ♥️
If you’ve ever felt like you need to “make up for” what you ate…
If you’ve ever judged yourself for going back for seconds…
If you’ve ever believed a food could be “bad” or “off limits”…
➡️You’re not alone. Diet culture has been planting these thoughts in our heads for years.
Save this post and say these affirmations out loud. Or write your own and pin them where you’ll see them often, especially when food guilt creeps in! ✨

✨ More energy to focus on things that truly light you up?
✨ More brain space for creativity, work, rest, or just being?

Does your ideal Dietitian sound less like a food police and more like a safe space?
Because that’s what I aim for in every single session 🫶
Support that’s grounded, real, and actually helpful. Not “perfect meal plans.” Not guilt trips. Not shame disguised as advice.
👉 Instead, we explore what’s really going on behind the food rules.
We unpack what feels stuck and work on building a gentler, more sustainable relationship with eating. And, we leave space for you to take the lead.
Ready for support that feels different? DM me to get started or book a session through the link in bio. 💗

You don’t need a diagnosis to know when something feels off.

💗 You don’t need to wait for things to get “bad enough.”
💗 You’re allowed to want more ease, more trust, and more freedom with food.
💗 You’re allowed to explore a different way.
💗 You’re allowed to get support.

Let’s normalize not doing what everyone else is doing.
As a dietitian, I’ve seen how easy it is to fall into the trap of doing what “looks like healthy.”
But real wellness? It’s not found in rigid food rules, daily step quotas, or obsessively logging every bite.
What diet culture won’t tell you is this ⤵️
There’s no one right way to be healthy.
What matters is what works for YOU. What helps you feel grounded, satisfied, and at peace with your plate, and yourself.
If you’re ready to stop micromanaging your body and start reconnecting with it instead, I’m here to help.

Your plate isn’t a conversation starter…BUT here’s what to say when people think it is. 💬
It’s wild how casually people comment on bodies and plates like it’s weather talk. But just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s okay, or that you have to accept it in silence.
These comments can trigger old wounds, fuel shame, or simply make you feel uncomfortable in your own skin. You don’t owe anyone a response, but if you do want to say something, it helps to have a few go-to replies in your back pocket.
Save this post for the next awkward and inappropriate family dinner, group brunch, or “concerned coworker” moment. 💚

I worked with Lea when I wanted help with my relationship with food. I loved that her approach was aligned with intuitive eating and making room for all foods in my diet. She really helped me with the importance of what to eat when and how it can impact things throughout the day. I would highly recommend her to anyone with any health or nutrition related goals!
Client Review
I’m a professional chef and I have an intense and obsessive relationship with food. Sometimes, it could take over all my thoughts. Lea really helped me build a healthier relationship with food, giving me tools to navigate my eating habits without guilt or stress. Her approach is thoughtful, supportive, and completely free of judgment. I highly recommend her for anyone who wants to feel more at peace with their food choices while still enjoying what they eat.
Client Review
Lea was recommended to me by a friend. I have a relative with Crohn’s disease and they require a very specific diet. I did a few telemedicine “visits” with Lea and she was able to give me so much information on what foods are good and where to find them. Such a life saver.
