Rooted in compassion and clinical expertise

Our Non-Diet Approach

We believe nutrition care should feel collaborative, not prescriptive. Our work is grounded in a weight-inclusive, non-diet philosophy that respects body diversity and honors the realities of everyday life. That means we focus on care that is:

Weight-Inclusive Care

Care that does not center weight loss as the measure of health.

Evidence-Based Nutrition

Nutrition support grounded in current science and thoughtful clinical care.

Individualized Approach

Support tailored to your history, needs, preferences, and access.

Compassionate Counseling

Collaborative care that respects your autonomy, comfort, and pace.

CV Wellbeing is a welcoming and affirming space for humans of all races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities, body sizes, and backgrounds. We believe respectful, inclusive care matters, and everyone deserves support that feels safe, compassionate, and free from judgment.

Our Empathetic, Encouraging Team

Our team brings a wide range of specialties, lived perspectives, and clinical experience to the work. What connects us is a shared commitment to compassionate, weight-inclusive care.

Meet the Non-Diet Dietitians

  • "The best dietitian that I have ever worked with."

    “Because of Carolyn, this is the first time in my 15-year battle with anorexia nervosa that I’ve decided to truly work on recovery.”

  • "Carolyn is amazing."

    “She has changed my worldview. I am indebted to her for her patience, constant encouragement, and grace. Thank you for being so amazing!”

  • "I can't say enough good things about the care I have received."

    “I never feel judged and leave every session with a renewed determination to stay committed to recovery. I am so grateful for the help I have received!”

  • "I am beyond grateful for the time I have been able to work with this team."

    “Especially Janet’s approach, expertise, and communication style. I look forward to our meetings and find the work insightful and impactful far beyond any number on the scale. Working with CV Wellbeing is one of the best and most important decisions I made this year.”

  • "There are no words to express my gratitude towards this group of women."

    “If you are even just considering recovery from an eating disorder or just darn sick of diet culture and silly food ‘rules’ you hear about in the media, these women have got your back. I work with Carolyn, who is one of the sweetest and strongest humans on this earth. After 15 years of struggle, she has been the only healthcare provider that has been able to help me put my whole heart into recovery.”

  • "Carolyn, Kristin, and the CV Wellbeing team are lifesavers!"

    “Their kindness, gentleness, and caring are unmatched. They are Health at Every Size, Trauma, and Eating Disorder informed, and their collective knowledge abounds. As providers, they go the extra mile while also empowering the individual. They provide the full supportive experience. Don't look any further - you have found the right place!”

  • "This program was very helpful."

    “I’m learning to love myself and make healthier and more positive changes in order to feel better.”

  • "Their philosophy has become a key component of our family's wellbeing."

    “The CV Wellbeing team has been an invaluable source of support for my family over the last several years, ranging from a teenager's eating disorder diagnosis, treatment, and recovery to an adult's pre-diabetes diagnosis. Carolyn, Alison, and the rest of the team are kind, direct, and clear, and their Health-at-Every-Size philosophy has become a key component of our family's wellbeing. It's hard to imagine the last few years without them!”

Questions, guidance, and next steps

You do not need a diagnosis or a perfect explanation to get started.

People come to nutrition counseling for many reasons. You may be navigating a diagnosed condition, feeling stuck around food, noticing symptoms you do not understand, or simply wanting support that feels less judgmental and more useful.

We can help you talk through what is happening and determine whether nutrition counseling may be a good next step.
