Meet Jane Pfeufer
MS, RD, LDN

HAES-aligned dietitian supporting athletes, movement, and a more balanced relationship with food

Hi, I'm Jane (she/her), a HAES-aligned, intuitive-eating-focused dietitian. Food plays an important role not only for our health, but also for community and culture. Using a non-diet approach, we will work together to energize your relationship with food and movement. I have a strong understanding of the complications that come with athletics such as Low Energy Availability and RED-S, and I'm passionate about working with athletes of all levels. Through my experience as a health coach, I have cultivated intrinsic motivation in my clients to make sustainable lifestyle changes. My counseling experience can support your health, performance, and enjoyment of life. 

  • I earned a Master of Science in Nutrition and Human Performance from Merrimack College and a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences with a Food & Nutrition Emphasis from Ithaca College. I completed my dietetic internship at multiple sites: Boston College Athletics & the University of New Hampshire Athletics rotations provided me with a multifaceted view of eating disorder care in athletes and how to fuel the extreme demands of Division 1 programs. At Lawrence General Hospital and Mary Immaculate Nursing Home, I gained hands-on experience in Medical Nutrition Therapy for complex health issues.

  • Jane sees clients in-person in Gorham, ME and Portsmouth, NH and via telehealth available in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont.

Supporting athlete health and performance

For athletes, sessions may focus on energy availability, training demands, recovery, injury prevention, RED-S, menstrual health, and sustainable fueling patterns.

Rebuilding your relationship with movement

Together, you can explore how movement feels in your body, how to reduce guilt or rigidity around exercise, and how to reconnect with movement in a more supportive way.

Creating sustainable routines
