Description

Hi, I’m Sarah Howe McKenna. I’m a registered dietitian who loves helping people feel better. I’m weight-inclusive and have lots of experience teaching intuitive eating. I’m also certified in the “How to Eat” method from the Ellyn Satter Institute which focuses on helping people move away from diets and towards joy and acceptance with eating.

I have celiac disease myself so I am very knowledgeable about the gluten free diet and my real life experience can help with practical strategies to make eating gluten-free easier, more nutritious and more enjoyable. I also have expertise in helping people with the low FODMAP diet and other diets for digestive conditions like Crohn’s and colitis.

For any condition, whether it’s food allergies, pregnancy, picky eating or senior’s health, my goal is to work with you to find a way of eating that makes you feel good and works for your lifestyle I specialize in a coaching approach so that the goals we work on are achievable and more likely to be successful

Stop Dieting & Start Eating

      This is a series of 8-12 appointments designed to help you become comfortable with eating and nourishing your body without going on a diet.  This series is designed for people who have struggled with chronic dieting for many years and would like to stop but aren't sure how.  We will work through some focused exercises and strategies to help you become less anxious with food and have it take up less space in your brain.  It is recommended to do the first six sessions weekly and then begin to space them out after that.  This program comes from the Ellyn Satter Institute and is supported by research.  It can also be used to help people with diabetes and is linked to better blood sugar control.
