About Whole Lifecycle Nutrition

Registered Dietitian focusing on Pregnancy, Family, and Pediatric Nutrition Counseling

Nutrition is a key element in fostering a vibrant, well-nourished family. From reproductive health to endocrine disorders, child feeding concerns or weight management, I recognize that each client has unique nutrition needs. As a Mom who has dedicated her life to female and pediatric health, I know how important it is to work with a healthcare provider who listens and cares about the wellness of myself and my family. You and your family will be treated with respect, warmth, and compassion.

My Mission

To empower women and their families to nurture their bodies and achieve wellness through food and nutrition

I Believe In

Equal access to optimal health and nutrition for all regardless of race/ethnicity, culture, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, age, size/shape or socioeconomic status

A loving and supportive environment that nurtures the physical, cognitive and emotional needs of all children and protects them from harm

Refuting and dismantling the fat bias and weight stigma that is experienced by larger bodied people

Food is love; a healthy relationship with food allows our bodies to grow into the shape and size they were meant to be

Women feeling empowered, knowledgeable, and strong to confidently take ownership of their own self-care, and love their bodies

Meet Rachel

I am Rachel, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, who is committed to helping women and children achieve health and wellness through customized nutrition guidance. I approach each client as an individual and complete a thorough assessment to meet your needs. No cookie cutter advice here! I tailor my behavioral counseling sessions to address your body, your lifestyle, your food habits and beliefs, access to nutritious food, and your diverse cultural and ethnic practices. I combine science-based nutrition with your input to empower you to embark on a realistic nutrition journey. The result? Goal achievement. I teach a mindful eating approach to encourage sustainable and beneficial relationships with food. I get my energy through guiding you in creating a nourishing and fulfilling lifestyle.

My nutrition obsessions are reproductive health (fertility, pregnancy, perinatal), endocrinology and metabolism (your hormones and how your body works), the gut microbiome (fascinating), nutrigenomics (how what you eat influences your genes and how your genes influence your metabolism), integrative and functional nutrition (a holistic and personalized approach to health and healing), and all things pediatric (newborns through adolescents).

What else do I do? I volunteer my time to several organizations advocating for increased diversity, equity and inclusion in the nutrition space. I serve as the Massachusetts Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Diversity Liaison and State Professional Recruitment Coordinator (say that ten times fast). I love precepting dietetic interns; I learn as much from them as they learn from me! I take pictures of food which annoys everyone else at the table, reinvent traditional family meals with a nourishing twist, explore outdoor spaces, do yoga (badly), lift weights, and have epic dance parties (alone or otherwise). I am blessed with three beautiful children, and a supportive partner.
