Meet Alexis. *

Hi, I’m Alexis (she/her), a Registered Dietitian and the founder of Mindfully Guided, LLC.

I specialize in Body Trust® and Intuitive Eating, supporting people in stepping away from diet culture and rebuilding a more peaceful relationship with food and their bodies. Rather than rigid rules, our work focuses on curiosity, compassion, and tuning into cues like hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and self-care to guide choices that feel sustainable and aligned with your values.

I also offer perinatal nutrition support through fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum. These seasons can feel overwhelming, especially amid conflicting advice. I help you sort through the noise, manage common symptoms, and feel more confident and supported in caring for yourself and your growing family.

At Mindfully Guided, my work is grounded in compassion over criticism, progress over perfection, and evidence with empathy. My approach is rooted in Body Trust®, Intuitive Eating, Health at Every Size® (HAES®), self-compassion, trauma-informed care, harm-reduction theory, and gender-affirming, and neurodivergent-affirming care, with 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.

  • Reduce your risk for complications with personalized nutrition strategies.

  • Support your baby’s long-term health through evidence-based nutrition approaches.

  • 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.

 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 supporting your relationship with food, and helping you create sustainable patterns that fit your real life.

    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. However, our work together will not focus on weight loss.

    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. 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.

  • Trauma-informed care recognizes that past and ongoing life experiences can shape how we relate to food, our bodies, and healthcare. It acknowledges the reality of trauma, uses consent-based practices, and considers how nutrition care can sometimes feel overwhelming or triggering. Rather than relying on pressure or control, this approach centers safety, choice, trust, respect, and harm reduction.

    In my work, this means meeting you where you are, creating a private, non-judgmental space, and moving at your pace. I’m transparent about what we’re exploring and why, and we focus on what feels realistic, accessible, and sustainable right now. Your sense of safety, inclusion, and well-being matters every time we meet.

    You are the expert on your body and the decision-maker in your care. I offer guidance, education, and support, but you choose what feels right for your body, values, culture, and life.

    Trauma-informed, Body Trust-aligned care honors the complexity of being human. We build on strengths, lived experience, and resilience, while recognizing how stress, trauma, and systems of oppression can shape well-being. When helpful, and with your consent, I may suggest collaboration with other providers to ensure care remains supportive and within scope.
