The real problem

You are not failing because you lack discipline.

  • 01 Knowing more about nutrition than most people hasn't actually helped.
  • 02 Some days feel in control. Then evenings and weekends unravel.
  • 03 You keep blaming discipline. Discipline was never the problem.
  • 04 You want structure. Just not another rigid plan that falls apart by Thursday.
  • 05 You have been starting over for years.

The funny thing about willpower is that it’s never there when we need it most. The pattern is not a character flaw. It’s a signal that the approach needs to change.

About Paige

Hi, I'm Paige.

I live just outside Charlotte with my husband and our dog Walter. I've spent the last decade as a dietitian, working in hospitals, in eating disorder treatment centers across all levels of care, and now in private practice from home.

If knowledge were enough, nobody would struggle with this. You have read the articles, tried the approaches, downloaded the apps. The reason it still feels hard is not that you are doing it wrong. You were handed a set of rules that were never going to work in real life.

My clients are not people who lack effort. What we do together is gentler than diet culture would have you believe. It starts with awareness. It builds from there. And it gets easier when you are not doing it alone.

What to expect

The goal is for you to walk away feeling like you took a deep breath: calmer, reset, and ready to reattempt the week.

Not another rule. A different relationship.

Questions

Questions about working with Paige.

Does insurance cover sessions?

Often yes. Through Nourish, many insurance plans cover 1:1 sessions in full. You'll get a coverage check on the booking page before you commit to anything. If you don't have coverage I can take, cash-pay is also available.

Why can't I just figure this out on my own from a podcast or a free PDF?

Most of us know in theory a healthier way to eat. If knowing were enough, nobody would have struggles with nutrition. The work is in the practice: getting the order right, having someone in your corner when a week goes sideways, and hearing a calmer voice in your head when you're standing at the fridge at 9pm.

Where are you available? Do you offer telehealth?

All sessions are virtual. I see clients across the U.S. and am licensed to take insurance in multiple states. If I'm not in yours, cash-pay is an option. And if cash-pay isn't a fit, I'll help you find a non-diet RD who's licensed where you live.

What happens in the first session?

Mostly getting to know each other. We talk through your history with food, what brought you here, and what your real life actually looks like. There's no food log to bring and no grading. By the end we land on a few small, realistic goals to try before we meet again.

How often will we meet?

Weekly, every two weeks, or monthly, whatever cadence is useful. There's no fixed package, and you can adjust as we go. Most clients start more frequently and stretch out as their footing improves.

How do I get started?

Easiest path is booking a 1:1 session through Nourish. Many insurance plans are accepted and you'll see a coverage check before you commit. If you'd rather start with the 12-Week Program, fill out the application and I'll be in touch within 2 business days.

What is a non-diet dietitian?

A Registered Dietitian who doesn't use weight loss, food rules, or restriction as the primary tool. The work focuses on rebuilding trust with your body's hunger and fullness signals, untangling old food rules, and making eating feel calmer.

Will I lose weight working with you?

Weight loss isn't a goal of the work, and it isn't required to be a fit. Many clients come with no weight-related goals at all. Some bodies change during this work; some don't. The goal is a peaceful, sustainable relationship with food, not a smaller body.

Will you give me a meal plan?

Not usually. Meal ideas can be part of the work, but the goal is building food skills that hold up in real life, not handing you a rigid plan that falls apart by Thursday.

How long does this take?

It builds. Most clients start noticing a different relationship with food in the first few sessions: less negotiating at meals, less guilt, more steadiness. Deeper changes (the diet voice quieting, food noise lowering) take months. This isn't a quick fix and it doesn't try to be.

I've had a difficult history with food or eating. Is this the right fit?

Yes. The work is specifically designed for people with complicated food and eating histories. I spent years working at an eating disorder treatment center across all levels of care before moving into outpatient practice, and that informs how I hold the space. If you're unsure, reach out and we can figure it out together.

Can I work with you if I'm on a GLP-1 medication?

Yes. Many of my clients are on GLP-1 medications. The work is the same: rebuilding trust with hunger and fullness signals, building consistent nourishment, untangling food rules. All of which matter more, not less, when appetite is medication-modulated.

What's the difference between 1:1 sessions and the 12-Week Program?

1:1 sessions through Nourish are session-based and often insurance-covered. Great if you want to start light. The 12-Week Program is a structured private program with kickoff and phase check-ins, direct email access, and an interactive workbook for the work between sessions. Not sure which fits? Start with a Nourish session.
