Nutrition Coaching Client

I really enjoyed meeting you and appreciate, more than you can know, how much you've helped me look at food in a different way. It's made a huge difference in my life! You've given me wonderful tools to use as I work towards a healthier/saner way of eating!

Nutrition Coaching Client

You were the first person to help me see my emotional bonds of eating in a non-judging and teaching way. You have helped me normalize my situation and drown out the noise of society which I lovingly refer to as “swimming upstream”. Your gift of listening and helping others as a Nutrition Coach is truly a talent and I am thankful that I have been given the opportunity to work with you!

Thanks for your support! I just told my husband that I wish I could shrink you and travel with you on my shoulder.

Nutrition Coaching Client

Due in large part to you, I am doing well and living my dream of starting my career. I can never thank you enough for helping me to regain control of my life and establish a healthy relationship with food.

Nutrition therapy & Coaching

How we feed ourselves can be an intimate process. From feeding a family to chronic dieting and eating disorders, Leslie knows how to help you change behaviors for good.

She uses a non-diet approach to help clients use their own nutrition intuition and nutrition intelligence without restriction. Check out Leslie’s book, Feed Yourself, and get started now.

Nutrition for Sports Performance

Having been an athlete, Leslie understands the nutritional and psychological demands of sport – from pro athletes to fitness enthusiasts.

As a sport dietitian, Leslie has a particular interest in helping clients understand, prevent, and recover from Relative Energy Deficiency (or REDS), a syndrome related to low energy availability. You don’t have to diet to feel and fuel well.

What is your nutrition philosophy?

I’m a weight-neutral practitioner that uses a non-diet approach.
That means we focus on behaviors that can improve your relationship with your body, food, health, performance, and overall wellness (not a number on a scale). This approach may or may not change your weight, but we do not focus on it.

Would you help me pursue weight loss?

In our diet and weight-obsessed culture it makes sense that weight loss would be on your mind. Weight loss seems to be a first line of defense for all ailments. However, pursuing weight loss is not the same thing as pursuing health or well-being. I do not help clients with weight loss attempts because I feel so strongly that it could bring you to harm. I also help my clients advocate for health-care, and not weight care, with other care providers.

Do you file insurance?

No, I do not file insurance. I am happy to offer you a detailed receipt for your appointments. Health savings accounts can generally be used for medical nutrition therapy services.

Are you taking new clients?

My writing and supervision services have been keeping me very busy. In order to offer the best support to the clients in my private practice, I sometimes have a wait list or will refer you to a colleague. Right now, I’m taking on very few new clients.

Do you offer in-person or virtual services?

Both! I see Las Vegas-based clients in my office, and offer virtual coaching services to clients in most states.
