About Us…

bamboo nutrition is here to help you nourish your body so that you can focus on living life.

There are many ways that nutrition can become a burden in your life. As your dietitian I am not here to make the choices for you, but to make them easier.

I am not here to judge, deceive, or control you. I am here to assist, comfort, and guide you. 

Being able to trust that your body knows what it needs will help not only give you the confidence that what you're doing is enough, but also the freedom to focus on more important things in life.

We will work to reduce the burden that nutrition may have on you, and instead create a positive relationship with food so that you can trust your body and focus on other more important things. 

Together we will work to strengthen your relationship with food in a way that remains positive for the rest of your life.

Sincerely,

Your Bamboo Dietitian

Bamboo Therapy

Bamboo Nutrition added therapy as a service in 2023. We strive to provide holistic care and enjoy that we can do this under one roof, as an interdisciplinary practice. It is important to us at Bamboo Nutrition that our providers strive to continue to learn and grow. One way we do this is by supporting each other’s disciplines by encouraging each other to learn more about current practices for therapy and dietetics and work very closely on shared clients.

Benefits to Combining Dietitian + Therapy Services

If food causes stress for you at this point in your life, you may find working with a dietitian solves some problems, but the residue of that stress still remains. Working with a therapist at Bamboo Nutrition is a unique experience because our therapists and dietitians work closely together and provide their clients with an all encompassing approach to peace with food. Your therapist will help reduce anxiety, stress, and frustration with food while your dietitian helps to provide direction, education and support.

If you feel our therapy services may be a helpful addition to your work with one of our dietitians, complete our therapy form and let us know you’re interested!

Our Dietitians & Philosophy

At Bamboo Nutrition all of our dietitians take a non-diet approach, individualize your nutritional-needs and focus on inner-health rather than focusing on weight.

We have dietitians specialized in working with individuals with eating disorders and food shame or guilt.

We have dietitians specialized in chronic diseases and nutrition management.

Food is medicine, however we do not just prescribe a meal plan then send you on your way. We work with you until you are confident that you can continue your progress without much direction. We work with many of our clients for 6 months to a year or longer. Nutrition is dynamic within our aging lives; Nothing is meant to remain the same. We will help you understand your body’s needs and know how to adapt accordingly.

Our goal is for you to have a positive relationship with food and increased confidence in making food decisions.

Care via Collaboration

Many of our clients are accustomed to their providers working independently. At Bamboo Nutrition, our dietitians feel their clients deserve more than independent providers. Our clients deserve a team who works together and has their client’s best interest in heart. Working as part of a team is one of our strengths and is important for us to give our clients the best quality care.

Invest In Quality

We are committed to providing quality care that is evidenced-based and individualized. Part of our mission and vision is to end weight-stigma and this comes down to quality care. Our dietitians understand the science behind Health At Every Size and do not provide recommendations based on weight or diet culture. Our clients receive true, expert-level care because we want our clients to invest in quality.

 

We Promote Inclusivity

It is important to us that our office and dietitians promote the foundation of diversity, equity, and inclusivity in our culture and practice. Bamboo Nutrition is a safe space for all individuals to be themselves and grow in a supportive environment.
