Our Specialties

With backgrounds in residential care, intensive outpatient, and outpatient settings, we offer the expertise and insight to guide you regardless of where you are in your path to recovery.
We understand the lasting impact of eating disorders and the challenges they can bring even after years of recovery.

Whether it's infertility concerns, family feeding dynamics, or athletic performance, we offer compassionate support and tailored guidance to help you navigate these challenges and achieve your goals.
The Balanced Nutrition Way
All foods fit. (Unless you have an anaphylactic reaction to one, don’t touch that.)
We're all about throwing out those eating disorder rules and rules of dieting here. Picture this: nourishing your body, mind, and soul without all the stress. Yep, that's our vibe! We're firm believers that all foods have a place in a healthy lifestyle – just gotta enjoy 'em mindfully and in moderation, ya know?
Our mission is to help you build that awesome relationship with food and exercise. So, let's dig in together, sift thru the mess of messages around food, body and movement and uncover the joy of eating what you love while keeping it real with your cravings, movement, and how you feel in your body.
Your Body Knows Best. (Yes, even better than the internet or *gulp* your mom.)
So, here's the deal: your body's like this super smart guru when it comes to knowing what it needs. We're talking next-level intuition, but thanks to eating disorders and society's pressure, we've kinda lost that connection. Ever mixed up hunger with emotional cravings? Or felt full despite not eating for ages? It's confusing, right?
But guess what? We're all (except for a few rare genetic abnormalities) born with the ability to intuitively eat. Ever seen a baby cry when hungry and push food away when full? That's the magic! So let's ditch the confusion and tune back into your body's natural wisdom. We can help guide you back to cueing into your body!
Rock your Body; Roll with your Image.
Ready to embrace your inner rockstar? With mindful movement, self-care, exposure work and the passage of time, we'll guide you to tolerate, and eventually embrace the body you’re in. Ever heard of "Health At Every Size"? Yeah, that's our jam. We're all about celebrating every body, no matter the size or shape. Together, we'll dive into some awesome strategies to cultivate self-compassion, kick those negative beliefs to the curb, and rock that positive body image like never before.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
We're all about collaboration here, and that means connecting with and learning from the best – doctors, therapists, coaches, you name it. By combining our expertise with theirs, we're getting a full picture of what you need to rock your journey.
Meet Your Dietitians
Rebecca and Cameron have over 25 years of combined experience working with people who have eating disorders. We're not afraid to ask the hard questions, muddle with you through the tough times, and help you uncover the unique strengths that will lead you on your path to food freedom.
Being trauma informed dietitians, we feel it is exceptionally important to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can express your feelings, be your authentic self, have your concerns addressed, and explore the barriers that may be hindering your progress toward your goals. Our compassionate team is here to listen, support, and guide you through the challenges you encounter.
You can find joy again!
At Balanced Nutrition Therapy, we're all about the healing power of laughter! We know most people stroll into our office in a very emotionally dark place. But guess what? You’re not alone anymore, we will partner with you through the mud.
Let's face it: even in the stormiest of times, a good belly laugh can be like a rainbow breaking through the clouds, offering those sweet moments of joy when you least expect it.
So buckle up, partner! We'll navigate those shadowy (and fully emotional) corners, and when appropriate but least expected, light up the way with a smile and chuckle. Who knows? Along the journey, we might just uncover some superhero strength, resilience, and some funny stories that only we will understand.
