My name is Kaytlin Kimball, and I’ve been fascinated by our connection with food and eating since I was in high school. The more I got into the weeds of nutrition research and practices, the more my own mentality shifted. I moved from a rigid sense of what it means to be healthy and “eat right” to a much more expansive lens that views nutrition as just one piece of the puzzle in living an enriching life. 
 

I studied nutrition and dietetics at Cornell University, completed my dietetic internship at Simmons College, and received my masters degree in health education and eating disorders at Plymouth State University. It was not until entering this masters program that I started exploring intuitive eating, HAES, and diet culture. That’s when the beautiful work of partnering with clients in eating disorder recovery clicked into place for me. After working in hospital and higher level of care settings for five years, in 2019 I moved back home to Oregon and started my private practice. I work hard to stay up to date on eating disorder treatment and nutrition counseling practices to provide inclusive, effective, and compassionate services. To supplement my background in eating disorder nutrition counseling, I have completed training in Intuitive Eating, Motivational Interviewing, Mindful Eating, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, body image work, family based treatment, and trauma informed care.
