Hi, I’m REBECCA COLVIN, Founder
+
Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
Serving clients throughout New York, California and Louisiana.​
​
When I began my training as a dietitian nutritionist, I was taught that a calorie deficit was the cornerstone of successful weight loss. But after years of counseling clients this way, I noticed a troubling pattern: those who didn’t meet weight loss goals often blamed themselves and felt like failures.
​
Discovering the work of Evelyn Tribole, MS, RDN, and Elyse Resch, MS, RDN—authors of Intuitive Eating—was a turning point. Their approach opened the door to a new way of practicing nutrition, one that emphasizes self-trust, compassion, and sustainable well-being. I became a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and shifted my counseling philosophy to a more holistic, supportive approach to health. Today, I work with young adults, adults, and seniors navigating disordered eating and chronic health conditions.
​
In addition to intuitive eating, I support clients in optimizing metabolic health through a functional nutrition lens, tailoring strategies to address root causes and promote resilience. I also bring over a decade of specialized experience in oncology nutrition, helping individuals through treatment, recovery, and survivorship with evidence-based, compassionate care.
​
No matter your goals, my mission is to empower you to feel your best, improve your health, and find peace with food.
