Meet Kristen
Your Expat Nutritionist
My Story
Hi there! My name is Kristen (she/her). United States born, Philadelphia raised, and currently residing in Hamburg, Germany.
​
Specializing in eating disorder recovery, I have spent years supporting women, men, adolescents, and families in finding a new relationship with food and their bodies.
​
Using Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size (HAES) frameworks, along with motivational interviewing and counseling skills, the goal for our sessions will be to find individualized solutions that work for you! I aim to help clients find trust in their bodies again and establish an eating pattern free of restriction.
​
As one of the few English speaking nutritionists in Hamburg, I aim to support fellow expats and internationals in Germany and throughout the EU. If you are an international student, a study abroad student, or an international family with children who need nutrition support, I am here to help!
