Meet your dietitian
Kristin Hatch,
RDN, LD, CDCES
Weight-inclusive nutrition support for diabetes, digestive conditions, kidney health, heart health, oncology, autoimmune conditions, and chronic illness.
Hi, I’m Kris Hatch, RDN, LD, CDCES (she/her), a registered dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist with more than 30 years of experience supporting clients across the lifespan and in a wide range of clinical settings.
I believe compassion, empathy, and encouragement are some of the most important parts of nutrition care. My work focuses on helping clients better understand their bodies, manage health concerns, and improve quality of life without shame, fear, or rigid food rules.
I support clients navigating diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, kidney disease, digestive concerns, autoimmune conditions, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, oncology nutrition, PCOS, bone health, and other complex medical needs. My counseling is rooted in medical nutrition therapy, behavior change, mindful and intuitive eating, and Health at Every Size®-aligned care.
In sessions, we will work together to create realistic, meaningful changes that fit your life, your medical needs, and your relationship with food. My goal is to help you feel supported, informed, and welcome to return whenever you need guidance, even years down the road.
