Homeward Bound Nutrition

Cara is a queer and neurodivergent Registered Dietitian whose primary work is supporting adults with eating disorders, disordered eating, and chronic dieting. She received her Bachelors of Science at University of Vermont in Nutrition, Food Sciences and Dietetics and her Masters of Nutrition Sciences at Tufts University. She has been in the eating disorder field for the past five years, which has included both the treatment program and outpatient settings. In addition to counseling clients, Cara has experience supervising Dietitians in providing nutrition care that is firmly rooted in body liberation and intersects with neurodiverse affirming care.

In her nutrition sessions, Cara provides folks the space to explore their relationship with food and body and decide what “coming home” to their body looks like. Homeward bound may be reclaiming autonomy and intuition around food; it may mean learning to honor unaddressed bodily needs. Cara’s goal is to support clients in re-establishing a relationship with food that feels sustainable, authentic and values driven. She approaches nutrition counseling from a Health At Every Size® approach, a framework that promotes health equity, supports ending weight discrimination, and improves access to quality healthcare regardless of size. In addition to her training as a Registered Dietitian, she has her 500 hours of yoga teacher training. She melds her medical training, compassionate counseling style with knowledge in yoga philosophy in her nutrition practice.

Cara offers nutrition counselling at CLINIC Wednesdays and Thursdays 1- 5pm.
