Meet Isabelle
(She/Her)Hello, I’m Isabelle. I am the Founder and Billing Director of Bamboo Nutrition, and registered dietitian. I specialize in eating disorders and practice Health at Every Size®.
*Isabelle is no longer accepting clients. Please follow up with us to see who would be a good fit!
As a dietitian I have the opportunity to help individuals on their nutrition journey. My passion lies in helping those earn food freedom, not allowing external factors dictate their eating habits.
My clientele consists of those with eating disorders, disordered eating behaviors, or individuals trapped in the revolving door of dieting and are wanting to escape the pattern. I also work with parents, helping them to learn how to incorporate positive feeding habits that will allow their children to grow predictably and learn to eat a variety of food. My emphasis area is working with families, children and teens.
My goal is to help all of my clients refute diet culture and societal standards of weight and appearance, and learn how to best fuel their body for whatever challenges may come their way. I currently reside in Rochester, Minnesota and only provide services over video. I am also in network with certain commercial insurances including UHC, UMR, Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, and Humana.

Isabelle’s Nutrition Philosophy
In today’s world food has been placed under a microscope and the simplicity has been taken out of the equation. In addition, everyone has an opinion on how and what you should eat, individualized care and personal choice has been left behind. I believe food is simple and something to enjoy; food should not be assigned moral value or prevent you from creating positive memories.
Testimonials
I met Isabelle when she was an intern. First impression was how passionate she was about healing the disordered relationship others have around food and their body image. She has a natural curiosity yet stems her work around evidence base first.
Rebecca McConville, MS RD LD CSSD CEDRD and Author of Finding Your Sweet Spot
I initially reached out to Isabelle at Bamboo Nutrition because I knew that my focus on food and body image was taking over my life. I also had questions about how best to feed my family. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that meeting with Isabelle was a turning point in my life. It's given me the opportunity to look inward at how I might be using food and diets to handle my emotions. While I'm still on my journey of learning to love my body, I feel confident that I have the tools I need to make positive change in my life and in the life of my children.
Client, age 35
Isabelle was my first dietetic intern. It has been such a joy to collaborate with her about shared patients, learn from her entrepreneurial skills, and celebrate her successes, such as being a speaker for the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (iaedp™) Symposium 2020! She is such a go-getter who always has her priorities straight. Her compassion is fierce and flows through everything she does. Check out her services to see what I’m talking about! You won’t be disappointed.
