Meet Alexis. *

Hi, I’m Alexis (she/her), a Registered Dietitian and founder of Mindfully Guided, LLC. I specialize in helping people move toward Body Trust® and Intuitive Eating — approaches that invite you to step away from diets and reconnect with your body through curiosity and compassion. Rather than focusing on rigid food rules, we explore how cues like hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and self-care can guide your choices. This work creates space to heal from diet culture, ease the stress around eating, and build a more peaceful, trusting relationship with food and your body. My role is to walk alongside you, offering support that feels both sustainable and aligned with your values.

In addition to this work, I specialize in perinatal nutrition, providing care through fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum. This season of life brings significant physical, emotional, and nutritional changes, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice. I help you sort through the noise, manage common symptoms, and make confident, nourishing choices that support both you and your baby. My goal is to provide guidance that feels grounding, practical, and reassuring, so you feel cared for and confident every step of the way.

I also provide support in women’s health, including nutrition for hormone balance as well as guidance through the transitions of perimenopause and menopause. These changes can affect energy, mood, bone health, and overall well-being. Together, we focus on compassionate, sustainable strategies that help you feel more at home in your body and supported in every stage of life.

At Mindfully Guided, my values shape everything I do. I lead with compassion over criticism, honoring your lived experience and the unique path that brought you here. I believe in progress over perfection, focusing on small, sustainable steps that create meaningful change. My work is grounded in evidence with empathy, blending science with humanity so recommendations feel both practical and kind. I support body peace and trust, helping you move beyond diet culture to find ease in living, and I approach each step of the journey with curiosity over judgment, creating space to explore change with openness and kindness.

My approach is rooted in Body Trust®, Intuitive Eating, Self-Compassion, Health at Every Size® (HAES®), trauma-informed care, and harm-reduction theory. I have advanced training in perinatal nutrition.

Intuitive Eating & Body Trust

If you feel stuck in the cycle of dieting, food rules, or body shame, this space is for you. Together, we’ll explore how cues like hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and self-care can guide your choices. Instead of rigid plans, we’ll focus on cultivating trust in your body, reducing stress around food, and creating a more peaceful relationship with eating.

In our work together, we’ll:

  • Unpack how diet culture has impacted you personally and how it continues to show up in your daily life.

  • Explore concrete ways to reject diet culture and make choices that feel more aligned with your values.

  • Learn and practice the principles of Intuitive Eating, adapting them to your unique circumstances and needs.

  • Explore how different foods and nutrients support your body, finding ways to incorporate them that feel flexible, accessible, and satisfying.

  • Shift away from guilt, shame, and rigid rules toward flexibility, curiosity, and self-compassion.

  • Build sustainable habits that support both your physical and emotional well-being.

This is not about finding the “perfect” way to eat — it’s about creating more space, freedom, and trust in your relationship with food and your body. My role is to walk alongside you with curiosity and compassion, helping you reconnect with yourself on your own terms.

Perinatal Nutrition

Fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum bring significant physical and emotional shifts, and the nutrition advice available can feel overwhelming and contradictory. My role is to provide clear, supportive guidance so you feel grounded, confident, and cared for during this transformative season.

In our work together, I can help you:

  • Find relief from common pregnancy side effects such as nausea, reflux, and constipation.

  • Understand your unique nutrient needs to support healthy energy, weight gain, and overall well-being.

  • Choose supplements with confidence so you know you’re meeting key requirements like folate, iron, choline, and DHA.

  • Reduce your risk for complications such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, or anemia with personalized nutrition strategies.

  • Support your baby’s long-term health through evidence-based nutrition approaches that nurture development and resilience.

  • Sort through conflicting advice and food myths so you can focus on what really matters.

What makes this approach unique is that you’ll receive more than just general guidelines. With specialized training in perinatal nutrition, I combine clinical knowledge with compassion for the lived experience of pregnancy and postpartum. My goal is to help you feel cared for and reassured, while giving you the tools to make confident, nourishing choices every step of the way.

Women’s Health

Hormonal shifts throughout life — including perimenopause and menopause — can bring changes to energy, mood, sleep, bone health, and overall well-being. Nutrition can play a powerful role in easing symptoms, protecting long-term health, and helping you feel more grounded in your body.

In our work together, I can support you with:

  • Practical strategies to help manage common symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep changes, or shifts in appetite.

  • Nutrition approaches that promote steady energy, improve focus, and support mood balance.

  • Guidance for bone health, heart health, and metabolic well-being during and after menopause.

  • Support in building meals that help stabilize blood sugar and reduce inflammation.

  • Tools for navigating the confusing mix of advice and quick fixes often marketed to women.

My approach is compassionate and realistic — we’ll work together to create sustainable strategies that fit your life and feel supportive, not overwhelming. Whether you’re preparing for perimenopause, navigating menopause, or adjusting after, my goal is to help you feel more comfortable in your body and confident in your choices.

 FAQs

  • Working with a dietitian offers personalized, evidence-based support that goes far beyond general nutrition advice. It’s a chance to receive care that honors both the science of nutrition and your lived experience. Our work together isn’t just about what you eat, it’s about rebuilding trust with your body, untangling confusing nutrition messages, and finding nourishment that feels realistic and supportive. Whether you’re healing your relationship with food, navigating pregnancy or postpartum, or simply wanting to feel more grounded in your choices, you’ll be met with compassion, curiosity, and respect.

  • In my practice, I take a Body Trust® and Intuitive Eating–aligned approach, which means I do not use prescriptive meal plans, calorie counting, macro goals, or food-tracking apps. I also won’t ask you to log everything you eat or monitor your intake in ways that feel rigid, judgment-based, or disconnected from your body’s wisdom.

    Instead, our work focuses on building trust in your internal cues, supporting your relationship with food, and helping you create sustainable patterns that fit your real life. While I don’t provide structured meal plans, I do offer:

    • Recipe ideas and gentle meal frameworks

    • Practical suggestions for adding variety, nourishment, and satisfaction

    • Support in identifying barriers to feeding yourself consistently and compassionately

    • Guidance around specific nutrients or additions that may support your health goals

    • Flexible planning tools that prioritize ease, autonomy, and curiosity

    My goal is to help you feel confident choosing foods that support your well-being, without external rules, tracking, or pressure. If you’re looking for a restrictive plan or detailed macro breakdown, my approach may not be the best fit. If you’re seeking a supportive, trauma-informed, weight-inclusive space to rebuild a more peaceful relationship with food and your body, you’re absolutely in the right place.

  • That’s completely okay. As a dietitian, I understand how deeply diet culture shapes our beliefs about weight and health. You don’t have to be free from those feelings to work with me. We’ll explore your goals with compassion and focus on caring for your body in supportive, sustainable ways that go beyond the scale.

  • Yes, absolutely. You’re welcome here whether you’re currently taking a GLP-1 medication or beginning to transition off of it.

    GLP-1 medications can significantly change how your body experiences hunger, fullness, and digestion. Because of this, it’s easy to unintentionally eat too little or miss out on important nutrients, especially protein, fiber, and certain vitamins and minerals. Over time, this can increase the risk of muscle loss, fatigue, constipation, or other side effects that impact how you feel day to day.

    Our work together will focus on helping you stay nourished and cared for during this process. My goal is to help you feel steady, well-supported, and confident in caring for yourself, no matter where you are in your journey with the medication.
