Hello! I am Mia, and I am a weight inclusive, HAES® aligned Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and the practice owner of Olive Branch Nutrition. I work to support people in a safe environment to find peace with food freedom. I wanted to create a space where we can find peace with food freedom. I want to extend an olive branch to you the way I finally extended it to myself. The olive branch to me is a personal symbol of inner peace, resiliency and strength. In my past I have struggled with disordered eating and the HAES framework and Intuitive Eating delivered me from diet culture, and I want to help provide the same for my patients. Mia holds a Masters Degree in Nutrition and Wellness and a Masters of Public Health. She has additional training in Binge Eating Disorders, Intuitive Eating Counseling and Motivational Interviewing, and ACT. She has held leadership positions in local dietetic organizations, including the 2022 role of President of NSAND (the North Suburban Dietetic Association). Mia also teaches at a local community college and has incorporated the HAES framework into her nutrition courses. In addition, Mia spends time advocating to the local community regarding fat-phobia and weight stigma, via school district presentations, community presentations and social media channels. Mia spends her free time chasing two busy healthy kids, reading (mostly non-fiction) and practicing yoga, mindfulness, gratitude and meditation in her daily life.
