Louisa Paine, RD, LDN
Registered Dietitian, Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist
Thank you for being here! I'm Louisa Paine, RD, LDN.
I'm here to guide you on your nutrition journey.
I love helping my clients reach their health, fitness, and wellness goals through varied, plentiful, and well-balanced nutrition.
I honor each individual's lived experience, cultural background, body autonomy, and right to self-determination.
I personalize my approach to each client, making sure to honor the cultural and emotional aspects of food.
I care deeply about finding the best nutrition approach for each individual and helping it to fit into each person's own unique lifestyle. I believe nutrition can look different for everyone.
I help clients eat intuitively, taking a culturally-inclusive, anti-diet, weight-inclusive, Health At Every Size® approach.
There is zero judgment in our nutrition counseling sessions. I'm here as a guide, and my job is to accept you exactly as you are and help you move forward in the way that is best for you.
I believe food should be fun, nourishing to the mind, body, and soul, and not stressful.
I see movement, sleep, stress management, and nutrition as being deeply intertwined.
I have special expertise in helping vegans and vegetarians eat in a way that is sustainable and nourishing. You do not need to be interested in vegan or vegetarian ways of eating to work with me. I work with everyone--vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores.
I have additional expertise in healthy aging, nutrition for cognitive health, and anti-inflammatory nutrition. My focus is always on the holistic health of the mind, body, and soul.
I'm a registered dietitian (RD) and a licensed dietitian nutritionist (LDN).
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Human Biology and Literary Arts from Brown University and went on to complete my nutrition coursework at Simmons College.
Following my dietetic internship in which I completed rotations in clinical, community, private practice, and food service settings, I worked as a clinical dietitian at Massachusetts General Hospital.
I subsequently worked in the outpatient and nutrition research spaces before opening my own nutrition practice.
I have over seven years of experience helping patients and clients live their happiest lives through the power of food, holistic nutrition, and intuitive eating.
What do I offer?
Nutrition coaching and counseling
Meet with me to discuss your current nutrition, your wellness goals, and how to cut through the misinformation and confusion to find an approach that works for you long-term.
Vegan guidance
I can help you go vegan and stay vegan, if you are interested in doing so, in a way that feels great for you by providing guidance to make it an easy, sustainable, and satisfying lifestyle for you.
Anti-diet, weight neutral approach
I emphasize holistic wellness and help you take the focus off the number on the scale, off counting calories and macros, and off dieting for good. Break away from the diet cycle and focus on how you want to feel.
Intuitive and mindful eating
Cut out the noise and connect with your body. I will help you eat intuitively so you can trust yourself again and feel safe and comfortable around food.
