Rachel Donnellan

About

I am a registered dietitian specializing in functional nutrition, passionate about helping clients understand the power of nutrition and how it supports strength, mobility, and overall wellness. I believe whole-health nutrition should fit into your life — not the other way around. My work blends the latest evidence-based nutrition with your lived experience to create an approach that feels sustainable, personalized, and realistic. Together, we build a nutrition practice as unique as you are.

Approach to Care

I identify as an “add-in” dietitian, believing that meaningful change starts with building on what is already working rather than focusing on restriction. My approach is rooted in meeting you where you are, creating a strong and sustainable foundation that helps you feel confident in making lasting changes over time. Every recommendation is grounded in evidence-based practice with one simple goal: to help you feel better, stronger, and more supported in your everyday life.

What to Expect

Our first session is a collaborative deep dive into your health, lifestyle, nutrition habits, and the factors that have shaped your experience so far. I want to understand not only what has felt challenging or limiting, but also what excites and motivates you about your health so we can create solution-driven goals that feel empowering and sustainable. You can expect thoughtful conversation, evidence-based guidance, and practical next steps that help you leave feeling supported, confident, and clear on how to move forward.

Hobbies

When I am not talking about my special interest- nutrition, you can find me skiing, lifting weights, or refusing to get out of the water somewhere. I love cooking for my friends and family and adore any event where I can create a themed table scape.
